I am trying to install Matlab 2012a (64-bit) in Ubuntu 12.04LTS (64-bit). I have installed Java 7. My Java version is:

sabyasachi@sabyasachi-ubuntu:~/Downloads/R2012a_UNIX$ java -version
java version "1.7.0_05"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_05-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.1-b03, mixed mode

I am getting the following error while installing Matlab:

sabyasachi@sabyasachi-ubuntu:~/Downloads/R2012a_UNIX$ ./install 
Preparing installation files ...
Installing ...
/tmp/mathworks_18824/sys/java/jre/glnxa64/jre/bin/java: error while loading shared libraries: libjli.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Finished

How can I fix this problem?

When I use -v (verbose) option I am getting the following:

sabyasachi@sabyasachi-ubuntu:~/Downloads/R2012a_UNIX$ sudo ./install -v
Preparing installation files ...
