I found the problem was /lib64/xawt itself was missing, and matlab was
looking for /lib64/xawt/libmawt.so
Not sure if that is a function of CentOS or Matlab for the missing
directory.
I first ran locate libmawt.so, found the one in the Matlab path I wanted,
and created an xawt directory under /lib64, then created a symlink from
the path of Matlab's to /lib64/xawt/libmawt.so and both machines I had
problems with worked.
Thanks.
