Mathworks Matlab Install Error on LMDE

[arkasjimis]

Hello,

I try to install Mathworks Matlab R2012a on LMDE and I get the following error message:

"The following error was detected while installing mcr_install_glnx86: archive is not a ZIP archive
Would you like to retry installing mcr_install_glnx86?
If you press No, the installer will exit without completing the installation.
More information can be found at /tmp/mathworks_root.log"

On Mint Linux 13 the install complete success. What might be the problem?

Lots of Thanks

I have solved the problem.
You have to increase the size of the /tmp folder because in LMDE is limited (I think to a half of the RAM)
