This is what I have on my hamm + misc. slink system:

% ldd /usr/local/matlab5/bin/lnx86/matlab
        libXpm.so.4 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXpm.so.4 (0x4000b000)
        libXt.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXt.so.6 (0x40019000)
        libXext.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXext.so.6 (0x4005b000)
        libX11.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libX11.so.6 (0x40066000)
        libtermcap.so.2 => /lib/libtermcap.so.2 (0x40104000)
        libdl.so.1 => /lib/libdl.so.1 (0x40108000)
        libg++.so.27 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libg++.so.27 (0x4010b000)
        libstdc++.so.27 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libstdc++.so.27 (0x40143000)
        libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5 (0x40174000)
        libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5 (0x4017d000)
        libSM.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libSM.so.6 (0x4023b000)
        libICE.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libICE.so.6 (0x40244000)

You will need xpm4.7, xlib6, libg++27, and maybe termcap-compat.  

This works great for me.  The ld.so library loader automagically knows
which libraries to call.
