I had to reinstall C5 64-bit out-of-box on two machines. Before the reinstall, Matlab 2007a 64-bit worked fine. Now, I get "failed to start the desktop; failure loading desktop class". matlab -nojvm works fine.
The reinstall was not an upgrade.
I tested on two identical systems - one before I installed the NVIDIA drivers, and one after. No difference.
I installed jre and jdk 1_5.0.11 on one system, and redirected /usr/bin/java to the newer one. No luck.
I tried installing Matlab as root and sudo, running it as root and plain user. No difference.
Web sites aren't helping me much.
I performed a complete install (selecting ALL items from EVERY catagory of the C5 64-bit DVD).
The machines are not on any network and never will be (both isolated systems)
Anyone else with ideas?
Thanks.
Scott

Would matlab start with -nodesktop option at all ?
