Starting Matlab engine in anaconda virtual environment returns 'Segmentation fault (core dumped)'
I've installed the official MATLAB Engine by following the instructions from the answer to Anaconda install Matlab Engine on Linux to an Anaconda virtual environment running Python3.5. I can now import matlab and matlab.engine without receiving errors. However, when I try: matlab.engine.start_matlab() , I get 'Segmentation fault (core dumped)' I've tried setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH from within the conda environment (in case that is even relevant): export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH , but to no avail. The path doesn't exist
