Matlab Crashing

my Matlab has started crashing every 3 minutes. It's driving me nuts.
I'm not even running any code, just editing code, which leads me to
believe its a java virtual machine problem.

I am on a Debian Linux machine, and all was running grand till I
recently did an apt-get update/upgrade and now it's banjaxed.

When I run Matlab i get...

/usr/local/bin/matlab: line 1: /lib/libc.so.6: Permission denied

And then once I start editing code, I get about five lines and it all
shuts down...

Segmentation fault

I am good at algorithms but not very good with computers, I'd
appreciate if someone could suggest what is going wrong. It especially
crashes when I do cut and paste, or when i switch between desktops.
When this happens I get...

X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range
for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  18 (X_ChangeProperty)
  Value in failed request:  0x4
  Serial number of failed request:  6870
  Current serial number in output stream:  6872

Help!!

appears your display configuration is not set properly.

So how do I fix it? I love Linux, but I'm crap at it :-(.

xemacs???

It is  a common problem when using X-emacs for GUI....
To fix it check if the version of the software (matlab) u have installed
supports the OS version u have...
U'll get it probably in the read-me document....

> xemacs?????

Good idea... I'm switching to emacs instead of using the inbuilt Matlab
editor. I have the .el file for Matlab, so the coloring is fine, I
guess the only feature I will miss from the Matlab editor is the
debugging tools, which are quite good. Can you debug in emacs?

Try do disable Klipper. It seems Matlab and Klipper don't go along well.
