How did you install that? On a linux machine, then tared up? When I 
install on NetBSD/amd64, an 'install -t' fails with

<snip>
Do you want to create symbolic links to $MATLAB/bin scripts ? ([y]/n)  n
Begin Installation ? ([y]/n)  y

Stat of directory "%s" failed.




Not enough space on disk.





The MATLAB installer program is finished.
Please perform the remaining steps described in your MATLAB
Installation Guide to complete the installation. This includes
modifying your system boot script to start the License
Manager automatically.

ktrace at 
http://www.spg.tu-darmstadt.de/~hf/notes/amd64-matlab2006a-ktrace.lst.bz2 
doesn't really make much sense to me. The X11 based installer fails 
in a similar way.

Trying to run the linux32 Matlab (yes, /emul/linux32 populated, and 
/emul/linux32/bin/ls works) fails pretty quick, too.
