Here's the solution:
First I copied libfor.so to /usr/shlib on one "non-working Alpha".
Now matlab missed another library. After putting also libFutil.so,
libc.so, ... in the /usr/shlib matlab started working. fine.

But there's an easier solution:
>From the matlab-root create the directory: $MATLAB/sys/alpha and put
all needed libraries into this directory and everything works!

Thanks
