Why do I get a libc.so.6: not found error when launching MATLAB in Ubuntu?

Problem Description:

I get the following error when I run MATLAB in Ubuntu:

/usr/local/MATLAB/R2011a/bin/util/oscheck.sh: 605: /lib/libc.so.6: not found

Solution:

To resolve this problem, open a Terminal window and use the commands below depending on your OS architecture:

For 64-bit Ubuntu:

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

For 32-bit Ubuntu:

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