Matlab with alpha linux

[Nate Huffnagle <nate@coast.ucsd.edu>]

Hi,
	Does anyone have a hack to get Matlab 6.2 or 5.3 to install on the 
alpha linux machines? I've tried the 5.3 install with the -i option but I 
still get the following errors.

  The following messages were written to standard error
    while running 'xsetup' the X Window System version
    of 'install'.

        Warning: Cannot convert string 
"-*-Menu-Medium-R-Normal--*-120-*-*-P-*-ISO8859-1" to type FontStruct
        ioctl: SIOCGIFCONF: Invalid argument
        ioctl: SIOCGIFCONF: Invalid argument
        tar: /usr/local/matlab/tar: Cannot open: No such file or directory
        tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now


thanks,

-Nate-
