I am having similar types of problems with Matlab 7.0.1.24704 (R14) 
Service Pack 1 on 6.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 6.0-CURRENT #0: Wed Jun 15 
12:38:40 CDT 2005.

Except when I startup Matlab I get, 
"/compat/linux/usr/local/matlab/bin/matlab: line 1: /lib/libc.so.6: 
Interrupted system call" at the command prompt.

Also typing 'opengl info' results in this output:
 >> opengl info
Attempting to load glren.so
Warning: Unable to load the OpenGL renderer due to the following error
libGL.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Tried loading glren shared object from: glren.so
 > In opengl at 98
Switching to Software OpenGL Rendering.
Attempting to load glren_mesa.so
Severe Error querying Opengl.

I don't have hardware opengl rendering.

I tried following The Math Works solution number 1-17YM3 which is:
"How do I direct MATLAB to use the Mesa OpenGL libraries or the system 
OpenGL libraries on a UNIX machine?", but it didn't work for me. It 
might be a starting point for you.
