can't install r2012b as root

Similar to http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/53462, which has no answer?

I want to install r2012b on a system running centos. I put the disk in, double clicked install, it fails silently. So I go invoke it from the command line as root, and it says I need the JRE. I install Jre (jre-7u21-linux-x64.rpm), try double click and it fails silently again. I try invoking from command line as root and get a brief error message pointing to a log file, which follows. What do I do now?

thanks,

Dave

I solved this issue by installing a graphical front end to sudo such as gksu and ran:

gksu ./install
