On my Linux machine, I am unable to select any of the directories in the directory selection dialog displayed by the UIGETDIR function. When I click the 'OK' button, I receive the following error message:
File does not exist.

This bug has been fixed in Release 14 Service Pack 3 (R14SP3). For previous product releases, read below for any possible workarounds:
There is a bug in MATLAB 7.0 (R14) related to the system's locale, as specified by the LANG environment variable.
To workaround this issue you need to set the LANG environment variable. To do this, unset LANG by running the following command at the tcsh or csh shell prompt before launching MATLAB:
unsetenv LANG
If using the bash shell, type the following command at the shell prompt before launching MATLAB:
unset LANG
Note that you can also work around this issue either by typing the filename in the Selection field of the Open File dialog, or by double-clicking on files within the MATLAB Current Directory browser.
