Hi, I managed to install matlab 6.5 on a freebsd 5.3, but I can't tell you exactly how I did now, since I have no matlab here. I remember that I played a bit with scripts regarding the detection of architecture ( I just edited these scripts and forcely set environment variable to i386 or so ) and did few other modifications, but they were quite simple. You should manage to get it running, however. hope this gives you one more hope :) regards, santo natale
