Problems running MATLAB 7.0.0.19901 (R14)
I installed MATLAB 7.0.0.19901 (R14) on my Intel MacBook Pro(2.33 Ghz, 2GB RAM) but I am unable to run it. X11 starts, but only MATLAB's logo is show before the program crashes. This is the crash dump:

Any ideas?
problems with JVM
I think that is a problem with the Java Virtual Machine(JVM). I think it MATLAB uses the JVM for the GUI. Try Mathworks support--many people have issues with Matlab on Intel Macs.
I think you can run MATLAB without the GUI from the commandline using the option -nojvm.
Matlab on intel macs
Using matlab -nojvm would solve the problem, but please bear in mind that this is a PowerPC version of matlab (version 7.4 is the first 'official' Intel Mac version, and before it there was a beta version of 7.3).
In practical terms this means that you will be running matlab in the rosetta environment -- making it run slower than a comparable intel version, and also there might be some problems with the numerical accuracy (or at least, that sort of warning had been mentioned here once or twice).
Same problem
Hi,
I just installed the same version of MATLAB in my MacBook and I've encountered the same problem even by disabling the JVM (-nojvm). Have you found any solution for it? I'll be very happy if you can share it. Thanks!
