Hi,

http://www.spg.tu-darmstadt.de/~hf/notes/matlab-on-netbsd.html has 
instructions for installing Matlab 14.3 on NetBSD/i386, plus a shell 
script that does most of the footwork.

New is that with 14.3, the Java IDE works nicely on NetBSD. Don't run 
'bench', though, as it panics the machine.

Enjoy,
	hauke
