Hi,

I used to install my MATLAB 7 successfully but it was really tricky. I
am here unable to install it on this PC.

I do not have any
* privilege problems,
* mounting problems.

When I am in /usr/local/matlab7 (i.e. the directory where I want
matlab to be installed), I go to my cd1, type ``install'' and it
results in

- -------------------------------------------------------------------

    An error status was returned by the program 'xsetup',
    the X Window System version of 'install'. The following
    messages were written to standard error:

        /tmp/6028tmwinstall/update/install/main.sh: line 179: /tmp/6028tmwinstall/update/bin/glnx86/xsetup: cannot execute binary file

    Attempt to fix the problem and try again. 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

- -------------------------------------------------------------------

I do not understand why I receive such a message about xsetup. This
file is found here, as, if I modify its extension or its path, it is not
found anymore. Why ``cannot execute binary file''?

Also,

# apt-get install libxp6 libxt6 libxtst6

libxp6 is already the newest version.
libxt6 is already the newest version.
libxtst6 is already the newest version.

Any idea would be much appreciated after hours of Googling. Thanks.
