How can I fix the "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" bug?

I'm trying to run MATLAB R2015b (students-licence) in my Ubuntu 15.04. I've done it before in an equivalent system, in the same computer, and it used to work nicely; however, this time I have this message in my screen:
charizard@bruno-S451LB:~$ matlab
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
I've read some solutions on the internet, but none of them did work.As a particularity, I had a previous bug in the installation (it used to crash saying something about invalid blocks length), that I fixed re-downloading all the installation files.

Hi,
I was having the same problem, I guess from the error messages that it was due to the the old libc libraries used by Matlab.
I installed the packages matlab-support and matlab-support-dev and things started to work.
Hope it helps,
Pedro

I am still getting segfaults (R2016a on Ubuntu 16.04) after installing matlab-support. This appears to be a Java problem (I am using the built-in Java; i.e., not setting MATLAB_JAVA). I do not get segfaults when running with -nojava.
Error log attached.

Worked for me. I'm using Mint 16.04.1 and Mathlab R2016b. Thanks!
