Matlab 2012a Ubuntu 12.04 (32-bit laptop)

Hi, I am trying to install matlab on my laptop.

1) I mount the iso file: seems to go OK (sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop R2012a_UNIX.iso /mntMatlab)

2) give a command sudo ./install, but then get a large amount of error messages which start like

cp: reading `/mntMatlab/sys/java/jre/glnx86/jre/COPYRIGHT': Input/output error cp: failed to extend `/tmp/mathworks_3260/sys/java/jre/glnx86/jre/COPYRIGHT': Input/output error

etc etc.... and finally installation dies.

Can you help me what is wrong here? Kind regards, Jani Martikainen
