exporting LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4 or 2.2 does not work as previously said. 
Setting MALLOC_CHECK_=0 results in a segmentation fault.
   The problem is solved by running matlab in chroot with amd64 sarge. It 
seems to work perfectly. I
   The problem about cadence is also solved. I forgot to add ia32-libs into my 
system. Now it works but I don't know if the part of it that fails in SuSe 
and Debian testing works perfectly. Will try that soon and report it if it 
works well.

Thanks for your help
