matlab on Linux, any success stories?

[Daniel Braniss]

Im trying to install matlab R2010B-Mac-Linux under freebsd-8.2-STABLE,
having installed linux_base-f10-10_4 but keep getting:

rnd# /compat/linux/bin/sh  ./install
Preparing installation files ...
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: 
/dist/local/amd64.FreeBSD_8.2-wip/compat/linux/tmp/mathworks_54440/java/jre/gln
x86/jre/lib/i386/xawt/libmawt.so: libXext.so.6: ca not open shared object 
file: No such file or directory
        at java.lang.ClassLoader$NativeLibrary.load(Native Method)

any known magic incantations?

thanks,
