matlab

[Pascal Hos <paashaas@rice.edu>]

I just received my matlab R12 student version and I'm having some 
difficulties getting it to work correctly on potato. When I start it from an 
xterm the splash screen shows up and it then the program hangs. The strange 
part is that if I su as myself and then execute matlab, everything works just 
fine!? The same problem occurs as root. What could be happening here?

Thanks for any help,
