[yt-users] error when running on cluster nodes

I'm going to chime in here. I noticed that on their FAQ page:

http://www.cse.illinois.edu/turing/faq.html

There's something about path problems on compute nodes. Your error could be due to a library problem (i.e. DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH). Have you tried submitting your job with a "#PBS -V" that keeps your environment for the job?

Matt may have some other bright ideas...
