ln: failed to create symbolic link : No such file or directory

ln: failed to create symbolic link : No such file or directory

So I just moved over to Ubuntu and cannot find a solution to this problem anywhere. I'm installing Maya 2020 and want to create a symbolic link using the following

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpcre16.so.3 /usr/autodesk/maya2020/lib/libpcre16.so.0

I get the following error :

ln: failed to create symbolic link '/usr/autodesk/maya2020/lib/libpcre16.so.0': No such file or directory

The libpcre16.so.3 file exists in the /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu folder. The error I'm getting is that the libpcre16.so.0 file does not exist. How can it exist before I make a symbolic link ? From what I know symbolic links are somewhat like shortcuts in windows.

Any help ?
