Recieving "Segementation fault (core dump)" when launching matlab after upgrading to Fedora 25

After upgrading to Fedora 25 from Fedora 23 I wasn't able to launch matlab (nodesktop, nosplash). Instead, the following are printed to the terminal without creating an error log:

$ matlab
MATLAB is selecting SOFTWARE OPENGL rendering.
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I have tried wiping the installation directory and reinstalling. The only information I could get on the crash was from journalctl. After launching matlab the journal recorded:

 audit[4499]: ANOM_ABEND auid=1000 uid=1000 gid=1000 ses=3 subj=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 pid=4499 comm="MATLAB" exe="/usr/local/MATLAB/R2015b/bin/glnxa64/MATLAB" sig=11

Any help on where to look is useful.

The build didn't link to libncurses because it did find the right version. Making a manual link to my libncurses library in $MATLAB/bin/glnxa64 fixed the problem. Found the solution here.

Linking $MATLAB/bin/glnxa64/libncurses.so.5 to /usr/lib64/libncursesw.so.6 was my solution
