I decided to use MATLAB on my PC. Also, the "low level graphics error" jogamp error was solved by adding -softwareopengl after a space after matlab.
The libstdc++ error was dealt with by using an LD_Preload. I got an MPI f2C error, which led me to add another path to the preload. This is what I ended up with:
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6:"${ISSM_DIR}/externalpackages/petsc/install/lib/libmpi.so:${ISSM_DIR}/externalpackages/petsc/install/lib/libmpifort.so" matlab -softwareopengl
Thanks!
