After a recent update of my Manjaro OS, I'm unable to open Matlab.
I get the following error message:

It is my understanding that after you updated your OS, you are getting the shared error message while starting MATLAB in your linux machine.
Generally, this error shows up if you have a missing “libcrypt.so.1” library. This library is a part of “libxcrypt” package. Try to run the below command in your linux terminal:
>>sudo yum install libxcrypt-compat
Hope it helps!!
