Question

Why do I see "error while loading shared libraries: libXss.so.1" when starting MATLAB in terminal on my CentOS Linux machine?

Answer 1

This issue will occur if you are missing the libXss.so.1 library, which is part of the libXScrnSaver package. To resolve this issue, run the command:

sudo yum install libXScrnSaver
