the Matlab installer uses Tcl/Tk, so as a sanity check you'll want to see if
those are working. What you might want to do is do something like:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/usr/X11R6/lib
This _should_ resolve the issue (if it's a simple matter of not being able
to find the library).
Another thing you sould be aware of is that the MATLAB support people are
fairly Linux-aware. I don't know if any kind of service contract is
necessary, but you might try giving them a call if the problem persists.
Good luck.
