installing MATLAB 7

Hello,

I've just installed MATLAB 7 R14 on a MacBook running version 10.4.8 -
1.83 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.

The installation of the three CDs was successful and the Licence
Manager was also properly installed. I'm also using the proper
hostname in the configurations.

When I try to lauch Matlab, only the X11 text-based window opens! I
have no idea what else i can do, can anyone help me?

Thank you very much,
Adelia

Welcome to Mac-Forums, adelia.

Did you check the website for support?

Requirements (check Intel-based Macs to make sure you have the correct version of MatLab = 7.4)

Available products for Intel Macs

Maybe you could check their Support articles

MatLab will not run under Rosetta from what I've googled up, so if your version is older than 7.4, looks like it won't work.
