new to FreeMat - installation issue

[Rich]

Greetings,

I'm new to FreeMat and am having a problem with my new installation of
it.

I'm trying to install FreeMat 3.6 for an engineer who requires this
specific version.

I'm running RHEL 5.6 on x86_64 architecture.

I install the dependencies and FreeMat 3.6 via rpm.

I run the command `FreeMat` and I get the simple error:
Segmentation fault.

I run `FreeMat -noX` and the program opens in my terminal window, no
gui, but it appears to be a functioning version of the program, just a
cli version.

The system log shows the following information regarding the.error:
# dmesg | grep -i freemat
FreeMat[10904]: segfault at 0000000000000000 rip 00002adb0c6bcf2e rsp
00007fff2b39be60 error 6
FreeMat[10921]: segfault at 0000000000000000 rip 00002ac75f5c1f2e rsp
00007fff01762160 error 6
FreeMat[12635]: segfault at 0000000000000000 rip 00002b37fe5b9f2e rsp
00007fff00a9c5a0 error 6
FreeMat[13103]: segfault at 0000000000000000 rip 00002ab1d513af2e rsp
00007fffb6ffa090 error 6

I know this is an old build of the software, but is this something
anyone has seen? I am not a developer myself, I'm a junior systems
admin, so while the error isn't greek to me, it also isn't useful. Is
there anything that I could potentially do to get the gui end of the
software working or should I be telling the user to get use the non-
gui cli and learn to like it?

Hi Rich,

As you can imagine, there is very little to go on here. I can only
suggest rebuilding it from source on your platform.
