Hi Martin, Thank you very much for your kind response.
I checked the matlab script on my m/c and it turns out that the check for window manager process has not been commented. I do not understand the reason though, since i have installed using the panther patch and applied it post installation as well. Anyways, as per your suggestion, i ran it with the -nojvm option and it gave me the following message: --------------- dyld: /Applications/MATLAB6p5/bin/mac/MATLAB Undefined symbols: _tgetent _tgetstr Trace/BPT trap ------------- what does this mean? has it got to do anything with the license manager? i think the license manager is running alright. given the above situation, does that mean i cannot use this version on panther? Also, i have not moved the launchmatlab icon anywhere. I just opened Applications/Matlab6p5 and double-clicked on LaunchMatlab icon. It bounced for a while and stopped. I tried to do it from terminal, but then it said what i had reported earlier that in the shell script, the command /bin/mac/setsid is not valid.
