matlab drive connector no GUI crashes miserably Linux

Ok, so I managed to install Matlab connector with an official installer. It depends on unzip, which is not present im my distro, but nevermind.

It installs in $HOME/.MATLABConnector/ and creates symlink in $HOME/bin/MATLABConnector. Executing this in CMD lists available commands: start, stop, status, toggle (meaning show GUI). I'm mentioning this, because official guide evades mentioning Linux -.-.

I want exactly this. I want GUI to appear, because I want to use the application. But then it crashes. I have no idea what does this stacktrace mean, but the first point of failure seems to be libmwfl.so ... I'd be happy test it against someone's suggestions.

I have the same problem even after I deleted that "libfree" file from ~/.MATLABconnector/bin I'm using Fedora 27. MATLABconnector start will start it well in terminal. A run of "MATLABconnector toggle" results in this error.

[alessandro lapini]

I have the same problem in Xubuntu 18.04.

[Raphael Chinchilla]

I am having the same problem too. I was not having it when I had 16.04, but now that I upgraded to 18.04 I am getting the same crash

[Rajan Paranji]

Sorry to add to the sad story guys, but the problem is still there for a combination of Fedora 28 and matlab connector v1.1.1.0. I tried everything that the support threw at me but same status. Without the gui, is it possible to use this feature ? I don't mind using the browser to see how the Drive is doing.

[Luke Phillips]

Still getting the same error on Ubuntu 18.10 when trying to launch the GUI.
