Can't launch addons browser in linux

Hello,

When I click the "addons browser" or "get addons" to be more specific it does not launch and does not give any errors.

When I run the troubleshooting command:

>> cd(matlabroot)
>> cd bin/glnxa64
>> !./MATLABWindow -url=http://mathworks.com --disable-gpu

I get:

./MATLABWindow: symbol lookup error: /lib64/libpango-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_log_structured

I'm running Fedora 26 and R2017a student.

Would it have something to with old glib?

glib version installed:
Installed Packages
glib.x86_64                       1:1.2.10-48.fc26                       @fedora

And pango installed version is:

Installed Packages
pango.i686                     1.40.12-1.fc26                   @updates

Sorry of being bit passive on this but I have limited internet access at the moment.

I got it going by downgrading pango.

Installed Packages
pango.x86_64                                                                              1.40.6-1.fc26                                                                                @fedora

1.40.6 Version that ships with fedora seems to be working just fine.

I believe this is a bug within Linux. Here is the link for Bug Report. The issue could be due to older glib.

[Dylan Wylie]

Please provide a method of using more recent glib version, instead of the outdated version that ships with matlab.

So @Niraj, let's assume you're correct; which is the correct version we need?

Thanks
