Is it possible to create a "truly" stand-alone application using the mcc
compiler (ie. without the need for Matlab specific library files)?

I've created an executable using mcc -m on Linux with Matlab R13. It
works fine if I call it within Matlab using !, but from the command line
I got the error message;

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

... and several similar error messages for various files.

I copied each of the "missing files" from their respective Matlab paths
into /usr/lib/ and now it runs fine on this machine. (In hindsight, this
could have probably been done by using a few "setenv" commands.)

If I want to run the application on a machine without Matlab, does this
mean that I would have to copy each of the necessary library files?
A quick search suggested that in Matlab 7 there is an MCRInstaller which
seems as though it effectively copies the Matlab libraries - would this
be backward compatible for R13?

Alternatively, is it possible to avoid the need for these library files
if I want to run this application on a machine without Matlab? In other
words, can the necessary libraries be included in the application somehow?

Any comments greatly appreciated.

Hi Steve,
no, using the MCRInstaller from R14 does not work. The corresponding
installer for R13 is called mglInstaller and is found in
<MATLAB>extern\lib\glnx
