I just tried testing the new Matlab install.  Below are some comments and 
problems.

1. For those who need the Symbolic Toolbox, you might considering adding a 
"matlab-32bit" to "modules" and a "hottip" on "matlab-symbolic" to explain it.

2. Using the Compiler command 'mcc -m' in 64-bit Matlab gives the following 
warning:

>Warning: Duplicate directory name: 
>/ibrixfs1/software/matlab/r14sp3/toolbox/local.
>DEMO Compiler license.
>   The generated application will expire 30 days from today,
>   on Mon Apr 24 09:58:53 2006.

Are we using the wrong license file after all?

3. The executable generated in #2 above gives the following error when I 
run it:

>error while loading shared libraries: libmwmclmcrrt.so.7.3: cannot open 
>shared object file: No such file or directory

Adding the location of libmwmclmcrrt.so.7.3 to my LD_LIBRARY_PATH allows 
the executable to run; presumably "module add matlab" should have made this 
adjustment to LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

4.  Even so, I still get the following warnings when running the executable:

>Warning: latest version of matlab app-defaults file not found.
>Contact your system administrator to have this file installed.
>Warning: Unable to load Java Runtime Environment: libjvm.so: cannot open 
>shared object file: No such file or directory.
>Warning: Disabling Java support

5. In the 32-bit Matlab, using the same command and M-file as in #2 above 
gives the following error:

>License Manager Error -18.
>License server does not support this feature
>Feature:       Compiler
>License path:  /ibrixfs1/software/matlab/r14sp3-32bit/etc/license.dat:
