If X is not available or 'xsetup' cannot be made to work then try the terminal version of 'install' using the command: install* -t or INSTALL* -t[/b] I also tried to install it without X, but it still fail. Any help will be welcome! (I have a nvidia correctly installed if it helps)
HardestadtMatLab is not a Debian product. Octave however is similar to MatLab and Octave is Debian Open and Free. You should give Octave a try even if you have MatLab. Since MatLab is not supported by Debian you should try MatLab support. It would seem you have acquired MatLab under one of the purchase plans associated with MatLab. That means you are entitled to installation support from the company that sells MatLab. I think MatLab is supposed to install without problems on both Windows and Linux. Personally, I gave up on MatLab because it was too costly to purchase and I did not qualify for a student rate. However, since you have the product you should register with the MatLab support group. They should be happy to help you out and MatLab support would be responsible for resolving any difficulties with whatever version of Linux on which you were installing MatLab. I am not sure if MatLab works on all versions of Linux and I think you should check with the MatLab support or the MatLab web page to be sure that MatLab works on the Debian distribution. I kind of remember that it may only work on RedHat so you had better check this out.
Sorry I cannot be of any direct help Thanks, hope things work out, Ted
