[Matlab] staring error on Ubuntu - libc.so.6 not found

MATLAB with Ubuntu 11.04

Under the new Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal), when you try and run MATLAB you'll get the following error

/matlab/bin/util/oscheck.sh: 605: /lib64/libc.so.6: not found

To resolve this problem, go to a terminal window (Alt + F2 from anywhere) and type

For 64 bit:

sudo ln -s /lib64/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.13.so /lib64/libc.so.6

 

For 32 bit:

sudo ln -s /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc-2.13.so /lib/libc.so.6

This should restore the missing library that was uninstalled during the Ubuntu update process.
