Upgrade Ubuntu 12.04 to 14.04 MATLAB boot error GLIBCXX_3.4.11 not found

I upgraded Ubuntu 12.04 to 14.04, now when I run matlab from the command prompt I get (it worked fine on 12.04)

anthony@anthony-VPCZ12V9E:~$ matlab

Please explain how I may resolve this issue. I have searched other posts with similar problems, but they tend to be to do with compiling mex code, so I think they already have matlab running.

UPDATE I have just noticed that in the error message there is a reference to a maple directory. I should point out that I recently installed Maple, prior to the Ubuntu upgrade, and during installation I ticked an option to allow interaction between Maple and MATLAB. I am not sure if I ran MATLAB successfully after installing Maple, but before upgrading Ubuntu. I think I did. I do not care about the Maple MATLAB interfacing, so I am also happy with any solution that removes their dependence.

I have solved the problem. It was because when I installed Maple it installed the Maple Toolbox for MATLAB. When I removed the Maple toolbox MATLAB booted again fine.

First go to your MATLAB root installation, and navigate to the uninstall Maple toolbox directory

anthony@anthony-VPCZ12V9E:~$ cd /usr/local/MATLAB/R2012a/Uninstall_MapleToolbox

NoW inside the uninstall maple toolbox directory, run the uninstaller

anthony@anthony-VPCZ12V9E:/usr/local/MATLAB/R2012a/Uninstall_MapleToolbox$ sudo ./uninstall

Now running MATLAB works fine

anthony@anthony-VPCZ12V9E:~$ matlab /usr/local/bin/matlab: 1: /usr/local/MATLAB/R2012a/bin/util/oscheck.sh: /lib/libc.so.6: not found

Although note there is an error message. MATLAB runs fine so I am not sure if this is of import, but it might be related to me following the repair link answer by NKN (I issued anthony@anthony-VPCZ12V9E:~$ sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6.0.19 /usr/local/MATLAB/R2012a/sys/os/glnx86/libstdc++.so.6. If someone thinks this is a problem and could advice me how to undo the link I made, that would be great)

You are missing the following library:

/MATLAB/R2012a/sys/os/glnx86/libstdc++.so.6

Either you missed it or there is another version of it in your folder. First try to find it and then re-link it as follows:

sudo ln -sf  /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6.0.16 usr/local/MATLAB/R2012a/sys/os/glnx86/libstdc++.so.6

for 64-bit version:

sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6.0.16 /usr/local/MATLAB/R2012a/bin/glnxa64/libstdc++.so.6

in the above-mentioned example, the existing library is libstdc++.so.6.0.16 that I could find using locate libstdc++.so.6 command on terminal.
