matlab on debian unstable



Hello,

Since one week, I cannot start matlab from my debian unstable box (i686).

The error I received is the following:

Failed to start the Desktop: Failure loading desktop class

I have placed a strace (+/- 2MB) on this weblocation:

http://homes.esat.kuleuven.be/~dvherten/strace_matlab.out

The funny thing is that matlab also doesn't work over ssh -Y.

"matlab -nojvm" does work.

The possible faults (in debian packages) are, according to me, libc6 (glibc), java (but matlab uses its own, and I did not upgrade that) or the xserver (xorg).

Anyone else experiencing the same? Or someone knows where I should start looking for solutions?

Thank you in advance,

Dirk
.
