Better MEngineError error messages #115
Description

I'm on Linux version 4.9.0-3-amd64 (debian-kernel@lists.debian.org) (gcc version 6.3.0 20170516 (Debian 6.3.0-18) ) #1 SMP Debian 4.9.30-2+deb9u3 (2017-08-06). I can start MATLAB fine from a terminal, but for some reason MATLAB.jl failed to open a MATLAB engine session:
