Maple 15

[carranty]

I'm trying to install a copy of Maplesoft's Maple 15 onto my home computer. This is a legal copy, obtained from my university library. It comes on a CD, which contains an .bin file that installs the software onto my system. Installation goes fine, but when I run the program I get the following error

carranty@Carranty-Desktop:~/maple15$ ./bin/xmaple 
/home/carranty/maple15/bin/maple: 1: eval: /home/carranty/maple15/jre.X86_64_LINUX/bin/java: not found

I'm running 64bit ubuntu 12.04. I have java installed

carranty@Carranty-Desktop:~/maple15$ java -version
java version "1.7.0_09"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea7 2.3.3) (7u9-2.3.3-0ubuntu1~12.04.1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.2-b09, mixed mode)

Here are the contents of the maple15 directory

carranty@Carranty-Desktop:~/maple15$ ls
afm                  Install.html                       MapleToolbox_Linux.bin

If I rename the jre.IBM_INTEL_LINUX folder to jre.X86_64_LINUX, maple loads but is "unable to establish a kernel connection" (which means its completely useless).

Going a different route, I thought I'd try linking where it is looking for the java file, to where it actually is

carranty@Carranty-Desktop:~/maple15$ locate libjava.so
/home/carranty/maple15/jre.IBM_INTEL_LINUX/lib/i386/libjava.so
/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/amd64/libjava.so

carranty@Carranty-Desktop:~/maple15$ ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/amd64/libjava.so jre.X86_64_LINUX/bin/java
carranty@Carranty-Desktop:~/maple15$ ./bin/xmaple 
/home/carranty/maple15/bin/maple: 1: eval: /home/carranty/maple15/jre.X86_64_LINUX/bin/java: Permission denied

but get a permission denied error (I've also tried doing this step before renaming the folders, same error). Running maple as root doesn't even help.

Any ideas?

Look at that file and see if it is a script with the Java path hard coded.

Look at that file and see if it is a script with the Java path hard coded.

I don't understand scripts well enough to know what this does, but here are the contents of the xmaple file

#!/bin/sh

MAPLE='/home/carranty/maple15'
export MAPLE 

"${MAPLE}/bin/maple" -x "$@"

Also, changing permissions on the java file leads to a segmentation fault (I'm not sure what these are)

carranty@Carranty-Desktop:~/maple15/bin$ ./maple -x
./maple: 1: eval: /home/carranty/maple15/jre.X86_64_LINUX/bin/java: Permission denied
carranty@Carranty-Desktop:~/maple15/bin$ sudo chmod 777 ../jre.X86_64_LINUX/bin/java
