Libboost Error - Matlab 2012a Student Version on Mac OS X 10.8

3 views (last 30 days)
I'm trying to run Matlab 2012a Student Version on Mountain Lion. I've already installed XQuartz and set it as default, as described here, and XQuartz is working fine for other X11 apps. However, when I try to run Matlab, I get the following error:
dyld: Library not loaded: @rpath/libboost_date_time.dylib
Referenced from: /Applications/MATLAB_R2012a_Student.app/bin/maci64/libut.dylib
Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap: 5
Any insight into this problem? I do have boost installed via Macports, but for some reason the copy of libboost_date_time I have is called "libboost_date_time-mt.dylib". I suppose I could try making a symlink with the filename that MATLAB expects, but I suspect there are other boost libs it wants to call, and I'd rather not do something so tedious if there's a more elegant solution.
Thanks for the help!
EDIT (8/31/12): Haven't heard back from Installation Support yet, so I continued poking at the problem myself. It looks like I have a different versions of quite a few libraries (Boost, ICU, and Xerces being the ones I've turned up so far), with different filenames than MATLAB expects. Creating symlinks from the current versions of the files seems to satisfy it, but I'm having to repeat the process a lot.
