This error occurs when the version of Java JRE that ships with MATLAB loads a library outside of MATLAB which in turn is incompatible with the version of libstdc++.so.6 that ships with MATLAB.
To resolve the issue, please navigate to MATLAB R2017b installation location in your system and remove the “libstdc++.so.6” library file shipped with MATLAB R2017b, so that MATLAB will use the system version of that library:
<matlabroot>/sys/os/glnxa64
Note: Here <matlabroot> is the location in your system where MATLAB R2017b is installed.
Eg: ‘/usr/local/MATLAB/R2017B’.
Following are the commands to execute in linux shell to perform the above mentioned operation: (You may need root privilege)
# cd /usr/local/MATLAB/R2017b (or wherever you may have installed MATLAB)
# cd sys/os/glnxa64
# mkdir exclude
# mv libstdc++.so.6* exclude/
# exit
