MATLAB: Am I unable to launch MATLAB on the Intel Mac OS X 10.4 machine

MATLAB

When I launch MATLAB, X11 starts but MATLAB never comes up. If I launch MATLAB from an xterm window, I receive the following error message:
 dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.6.dylib
    Referenced from: /Applications/MATLAB74/bin/maci/MATLAB.app/ 
 Contents/MacOS/libmwhg.dylib
    Reason: no suitable image found.  Did find:
          /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.6.dylib: mach-o, but wrong architecture
 Trace/BPT trap

Best Answer

This error message indicates that you have the PowerPC version of Apple's X11 installed on your Intel machine. In order to resolve this problem, please reinstall X11 from a set of Tiger DVD's for the Intel MAC architecture.
