Matlab appdesigner fails to create a new application.

A simple screen with white background appears for a few seconds and then closes when entering the command

>>> appdesigner

to create a new application. No messages are displayed. The same behavior is observed with 2016A and 2018A.

I should also have indicated that Matlab is running on Linux Debian7 OS.

It turns out that 2018A is supported on Debian7.

The problem remoains for 2016A however. Several online sources indicate that the MATLABWindow command serves as a good test for the type on problem I am seeing. I have not found another reference where the error results in a Bus error:

>> cd (matlabroot)

>> ! bin/glnxa64/MATLABWindow

The "Bus error" was resolved by increasing the size of /dev/shm.
