What were you trying to do?
Start matlab with a directory to be included in the matlab
search path appended to the end of the command line:
i.e. "matlab /tmp" or "matlab ./"
What's wrong:
The matlab wrapper script incorrectly parses the command line.
Instead of handing the directories at the end of the command
line to matlab to be used in the search path, it uses them as
xterm arguments. (Normally you can do "matlab -sb -sl 1500 ./"
and the wrapper knows what to do with each part of the command
line).
What should have happened:
Matlab should have started with a scroll bar and the indicated
directory in the path.
