mpm: error while loading shared libraries: libatomic.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[jankap]

With latest mpm (2026.3), I get this error:

./mpm --version
/tmp/mwse_2903185741/bin/glnxa64/mpm: error while loading shared libraries: libatomic.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Using 2025.1 does not cause this:

./mpm.1 --version
MATLAB Package Manager 2025.1 (glnxa64)

The error appeared firstly in 2026.1

I'm in WSL. Same issues appear in docker builds. Fortunately, thanks to #139 this can be mitigated currently.

I'd appreciate if new dependency requirements could be added to https://github.com/mathworks-ref-arch/matlab-dockerfile/blob/main/MPM.md#changelog.

Thanks

Any updates here? Not yet fixed in 2026.4

edit: the fix is to install libatomic, more specifcally sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y libatomic1 on Ubuntu-based systems.
Nevertheless, this is not instlaled per default in ubuntu docker images. And as mpm is likely used a lot in CI/CD, this will lead to errors as long as the same OS packages are used as before.
