I receive the error:

In a terminal window, browse to your MATLAB/etc/ folder. 2. type: ./lmdown 3. type: sudo rm /var/tmp/lm* (enter your Mac password when prompted) 4. type: sudo rm /var/tmp/lock* 5. type: ./lmstart (check for error messages) 6. If there are no errors displayed, try to run MATLAB again
