java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no nativeservices in java.library.path

I am using matlab 2014b on ubuntu 16.04 LTS. I've got some problems while adding a path on matlab and trying to run the scripts. It shows:

From what I've seen through other posts is that java isn't able to find the java.library.path or it hasn't been specified.

how can I fix this?

Thanks for your help.
