Invalid MEX-file error

I'm using Matlab R2019b with the PsychToolbox to run a visual stimuli sequence on a screen and keep getting the following mex file error:
Invalid MEX-file '/home/snaillab/MATLAB/TOOLBOXES/Psychtoolbox/PsychBasic/Screen.mexa64': libdc1394.so.22: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory
Error in HideCursor (line 32)
Screen('HideCursorHelper', screenid, mouseid);
Error in pilot_retrograde_visual (line 18)
HideCursor
How can I fix this?

I encountered the same issue in Matlab r2019b under Ubuntu 18.04. Running this in a terminal made the trick for me:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libdc1394-22

Did this work in Windows or just MacOS?
