Re: [Condor-users] Matlab and Condor

[Robert Parrott <parrott@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've run sans X11 many times without these errors, and they seem to  
indicate that X11 libraries are being looked for & invoked. You may  
want to double check the command line again.

Another option is to use VNC to create a "virtual" X11 display: the  
following bash script in the vanilla universe worked for me  
(scan_periodic_oribts.m is the main matlab script that is run):

------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh

export  
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/deas/software/bin:/deas/vendor/bin: 
/usr/X11R6/bin
export HOME=/home/parrott

export DISPLAY=:19

whoami

MATLAB="/deas/vendor/bin/matlab7 -nojvm -nosplash -display $DISPLAY "
#MATLAB="/deas/vendor/bin/matlab7 -nojvm -nosplash "

VNCSERVER_CMD_ON=" vncserver $DISPLAY -geometry 640x480 -depth 24 "
VNCSERVER_CMD_OFF=" vncserver -kill $DISPLAY "

$VNCSERVER_CMD_ON

$MATLAB <<EOF

params.Bz_min_mT = 0;
params.Bz_max_mT = 150;

scan_periodic_orbits

EOF


$VNCSERVER_CMD_OFF

------------------------------------------------
