It comes on a multi *nix-platform CD that has a text or X based
install program that installs the package on your system, it does not
come in a 'package' file. They(Mathworks) have just tested it under
Redhat and Slackware. There is a bug in the 5.0 version for Linux for
printing figures with symbols, they have a "beta" binary drop in
replacement for download on there ftp site that fixes the problem.
(ftp://ftp.mathworks.com/pub/mathworks/bin/unix/lnx86/matlab.5.1.beta.Z)
You also have to download a library file(libstdc++.so.27.1.4) to make
it work on Debian, check out
http://www.mathworks.com/support/solutions/v4/7571.html, it deals
directly with Debian.
