Running Matlab via PBS fails

I am trying to run Matlab 2013 via PBS and I get the following error:

libXv.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I can run my code in Matlab's GUI mode though. I tried using LD_PRELOAD to point to the library as under, but that did not help either.

setenv LD_PRELOAD /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXv.so.1

Any suggestions on how to go about resolving this error?

When running Matlab via PBS you run actual Matlab scripts on the nodes of the cluster that probably do not have any GUI components installed including the X client libraries such as libXv.so.1.

You probably do not want to run Matlab in a GUI mode via a batch system unless it is an interactive job. In case you just want to run a script, try specifying matlab command line in your PBS script as follows:

matlab -nodisplay -nodesktop -nojvm -nosplash -r "myfunc"

Where myfunc is the Matlab command that you want to run on the cluster.
