Matlab includes a copy of some standard libraries, such as libstdc++.
Their version may not match your system's version, which is fine when
running Matlab, but may give problems when trying to run a program
that's compiled for a different version.

In my case, it was easy to remove Matlab's versions of those libraries,
and instead use the system libs. My mex files are also build against the
system libs, so this solves the problem.

An alternative may be to build the mex files against the libraries
shipped with Matlab. If you find some easy way to do that, let us know.

Why not use the 'unix' command from within Matlab to run the program?

In your mex file, how did you convert the Matlab array to an ITK image?
My routine now simply copies the data into an Image, but I'd rather base
it on ImageSource, so I can skip copying the data.
