Installing Matlab 2011a on FreeBSD

After having had to move my Linux box from my desk due to Occupational Health and Safety issues (It seems that 5 PC's around you are just too many), I had to install Matlab on my main PCBSD 8.2 box.
A scary task after having failed with 2009b, and 2010a a while ago (on a box running 8-CURRENT though).

Now it seems to work just fine. All you need is the Linux compatibility layer and libraries and tweak some of the files:

For the installation:

Edit the "installer" file and replace

#!/bin/sh
with
#!/compat/linux/bin/sh

Then install Matlab, muck around with the license stuff, and cd to the installation folder.

In the installation folder edit file "bin/matlab" and replace

#!/bin/sh
with
#!/compat/linux/bin/sh

as before. Then edit "bin/util/oscheck.sh" and again replace

#!/bin/sh
with
#!/compat/linux/bin/sh

Then start Matlab by simply typing "matlab"

It worked, and the java interface still crashes when trying to work with multiple directories containing lots (about 10000 or more) of files, like it did with 2010b under Linux.
Well, gotta live with that.
