Any help will be appreciated.

What happened when you installed libxp-dev as the solution provides?

Hi Bilol,

Welcome to the wonderful world of Linux Mint and its excellent forum!

It would help to know more about your system setup. If you run "inxi -Fxzd" and "lsusb" from the console terminal prompt, highlight the results, copy and paste them back here, that should provide enough information.

Hi Bilol,

You are welcome from all of us that replied...

You installed a 32-bit version of Linux Mint Cinnamon when you should have installed a 64-bit version of Linux Mint because your computer's CPU is 64-bit. I recommend you install a 64-bit version now after you have backed up anything you want to keep from the current installation.

4: 1199 MHz

Afterward, for security and other reasons, you might also consider updating the Linux Kernel to a newer one through the Mint Update Manager. You will have to reinstall any software you added including "Oracle's Java 8 runtime" and then "Matlab".

Thanks a lot..
I did a fresh install of mint 64 bit and then installed 64 bit Matlab, with the help of the links given by phd21. It worked like a charm !!!
