I am currently using Ubuntu 16.04

I am installing scilab from the source code as mentioned here : https://wiki.scilab.org/Compilation%20of%20Scilab

I have all the pre-requisites like a C compiler and a Fortran compiler as mentioned here : https://www.scilab.org/download/requirements

But when I enter ./configure on my terminal, it gives the following error.

configure: error: Could not detect the location of the Java
            shared library. You will need to update java.m4
            to add support for this JVM configuration.

I have already tried to set the environmental variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH in linux following this answer : How to set the environmental variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH in linux as I had read that this might solve the issue(here). Any leads would be appreciated.

You need to reinstall OpenJDK or OracleJDK.
This might help:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:linuxuprising/java  
sudo apt update  
sudo apt install oracle-java10-installer
