Hello everyone. I am gonna install MATLAB on my box. Is there any way to
monitor what it installs on my machine?
Thanks.

Best way is to use an ebuild and install it with emerge.

Then you can check what's installed with:
equery files --tree <package name>

Here is an ebuild for matlab:

Or you can use qlist packagename

If you want to install from source, and it uses the standard make && make
install, try using checkinstall from http://asic-linux.com.mx/~izto/checkinstall/

You run checkinstall instead of make install and it tracks what is
installed. It can also build a binary package instead of installing.
