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.
