Library not loaded: @rpath/lib​mwhgbuilti​ns.dylib

When I tried to plot, I received the following error message:

Bundle#95 start failed:

dlopen(/Applications/MATLAB_R2019b.app/bin/maci64/builtins/matlab_graphics_hgbuiltins/mwhgbuiltins_builtinimpl.dylib,

Referenced from:

/Applications/MATLAB_R2019b.app/bin/maci64/builtins/matlab_graphics_hgbuiltins/mwhgbuiltins_builtinimpl.dylib

Reason: no suitable image found. Did find:

/Applications/MATLAB_R2019b.app/bin/maci64/builtins/matlab_graphics_hgbuiltins/../../../../bin/maci64/libmwhgbuiltins.dylib:

I’m using R2019b on my MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015) running macOS 10.15.2.

Please help me with this problem, thanks!

It appears from the error that you included that MATLAB cannot find the "libmwhgbuiltins.dylib" possibly because Apple's System Integrity Protection software is preventing MATLAB from accessing the library file.

Below is a link to a workaround where you copy the library from the "matlabroot" location to the "/usr/lib/" folder.

https://ww2.mathworks.cn/matlabcentral/answers/403742-invalid-mex-file-and-missing-libmwblas-dylib-error#comment_574564

The location of the library to be copied is:

>> fullfile(matlabroot, 'bin/maci64/libmwblas.dylib')

and it should be copied to

/usr/lib/

If you do not have access to that folder, you can place the library in a folder on the MATLAB path that you are working with, such as near the M file you are writing.
