Matlab 5.3 on SuSE 8.x?

Hi, I am a recently-minted (read: impoverished) PhD and am considering installing the latest version of SuSE Linux. I have a license for Matlab 5.3, and would like to avoid buying Matlab 6.1 for awhile. I have a two-part question. (1) Has anyone any experience running Matlab 5.3 on SuSE 8.x? Does it work? (2) Matlab 5.3 required libraries (which I have) and some links for compilation of C code (mex files). Has anyone tried/done this?
