Matlab startup issue on Fedora 21

Hello

I am having trouble to start Matlab on Fedora 21 (Matlab2013b), I did some works following the instruction posted before:

http://uk.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/98599-why-will-matlab-not-start-up-properly-on-my-linux-or-unix-based-system

The steps 1-3 were not helpful but, as step 4 suggested, Matlab works if I type './matlab -nodesktop', and it gives a log file regarding the issue after I type 'desktop'. I have attached the log file.

hope some one can help

Thanks you!

Bo
