After Apple’s Java Update that came with Mac OS X 10.6.8, Matlab (R2008 and older) crashes whenever a ﬁgure or plot is opened. According to Matlab Central, you can ﬁx the problem with the correct DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH during Matlab launch. For our convenience, I merged it into the Start Matlab.app, archived it and attached it to this post.

Happy Matlabbing, iss
