MATLAB must be launched from the command line on Linux.

If you completed installation as root user, you may have had the option to install symbolic links to MATLAB in a folder on your system path. If you selected to install these links you can launch MATLAB from the command line, regardless of current working directory, by typing the command:

user@host$> matlab

If this does not work, or if you did not install the symbolic links during installation, you must launch MATLAB by specifying the full path to the MATLAB start script:

user@host$> cd $MATLABROOT/bin

where $MATLABROOT is the full path to your MATLAB installation directory, ex:

/usr/local/matlab/R2009b

then launch MATLAB using the following command:

user@host$> ./matlab
