installation - no matlab executable were found -

i tried install "matlab - scientific computing environment" software center failed, because got error message "no matlab executables found in directories specified. package requires @ least 1 local installation of matlab." linux version ubuntu 12.10. appreciated.

try following:

cd /usr/local/bin/ # replace r2012a version: sudo ln -s /usr/local/matlab/r2012a/bin/matlab matlab 

otherwise can try sudo apt-get install matlab-support, assistant configuring matlab.

now command matlab should launch matlab.
