Hi,

Let's troubleshoot:

- does the bin/maci directory contain a library
   libboost_filesystem-1_33_1.dylib?  If it does not,
   then the MATLAB install is incomplete.  If it does,
   something may be wrong with the file; continue:
- what does 'file libboost_filesystem-1_33_1.dylib' return?
   If it does not return this:
   "Mach-O dynamically linked shared library i386"
   then the file is incomplete.  If it does, something else
   is causing trouble; continue:
- Is the file size around 70K?  (Use ls -l, or Get Info).
   If it is significantly smaller, then the file is
   incomplete.  If it is around 70K, continue:
- what does 'nm libboost_filesystem-1_33_1.dylib' return?
   If it does not return a ton of symbols, then the file
   is incomplete.  If it does, then I'm stumped.

For what it's worth, sometimes incomplete archives will install 
"correctly" but still do not produce a valid installation.  If this is a 
web download, or a copied installer, you may need to re-download the 
installer files, or install from the original DVD.
