HOWTO: Maple

PriceChild · 07:39 AM

Got a copy of maple10 the other day and had problems installing it because of an updated java version in edgy, although this has been seen in Dapper aswell.

If you see this error:

Code:

/media/cdrom0$ sudo sh installMapleLinuxSU

/tmp/install.dir.13374/Linux/resource/jre/bin/java: error while loading shared libraries: libpthread.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

when trying to install then this guide is for you.

make tmp dir in home for messing around in.

Code:

mkdir ~/tmpmaple

cd to cdrom

Code:

cd /media/cdrom

copy files

Code:

cp -R Linux ~/tmpmaple
cp installMapleLinuxSU ~/tmpmaple

move to dodgy dir

Code:

cd ~/tmpmaple/Linux/Disk1/InstData/VM

rename file

Code:

mv LinuxInstaller.bin LinuxInstaller.bin.pak

edit file

Code:

cat LinuxInstaller.bin.pak | sed "s/export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL/#xport LD_ASSUME_KERNEL/" > LinuxInstaller.bin

move back to start

Code:

cd ~/tmpmaple

start the install

Code:

sudo sh installMapleLinuxSU

Thanks a million, it worked like a charm

May I ask how you figured out the change to the installer?

Great HOWTO!

Had this problem for Maple 9.5 on Ubuntu 6.10 as well. Your solution works, thank you very much! I already played around with LinuxInstaller.bin but I was not successful in finding the right knob to turn

yehaaa thanks!

I have another Maple problem. I have US international keyboard activated (so I usually need to type a space after a ^ or ' or ` But in Maple that doesnt work, in other words, I cant get a ^, so cant take powers

OK, I can, by copying the ^ from another application, or use the maple sidebar icon for taking power, but its just not very nice.
Anyone has a solution?
(And another pretty offtopic question, but still related to this one, how can I set up in general that I dont have to press space after a ^ or ' or `, but can just continue typing, and if the next letter isn't one who supports accents, X just puts the accent and the letter on the screen. So I can type ^h instead of ^ space h)

Usually to take powers you can do **

example: x^3=x**3

I would try to see if there is an "Eliminate Dead Keys" variant of your keyboard layout under System>Preferences>Keyboard

thanks a lot, it worked very well on ubuntu 6.10 with Maple 9.5

You can also run the Maple 10 updates in Edgy by making the same changes to the installer .bin files.
