I don't have specific suggestions, but I can say that Matlab runs here
under linux_base:
knock [rdmurphy]% /usr/sbin/pkg_info | grep linux
linux-base-5.2 The base set of packages needed for linux emulation.
linux-realplayer-5.0 Linux RealPlayer 5.0 from RealNetworks
linuxdoom-1.8 Id Software's Doom for linux
knock [rdmurphy]% matlab

The license manager here is on a Sun (I believe) running across
campus. I originally had trouble getting matlab to talk to it, but
after ripping out linux_lib and running the whole installation process
from within linux sh everything worked. I was never able to track
down why it failed earlier (last winter), nor why it worked on the
second go around (June).
