HOWTO: Maya 6.5 under Hoary

[Boggles3]

i did that .. i created a file called MAYA on my home folder and put all the rpm's in there and then ran them with the alien

now i have all this maya crap everywhere on the system andi cant run the program

Sorry, I realized that and edited my post accordingly. See my updated post :

Alright, slow down

Cd over to the main maya directory and type `ls`. Post the output here. I'm betting Maya has to startup with a shell script, as usually you can't directly run the main binary.

ok the closest i can get is /usr/aw/maya6.5/bin

then there are some extentions in there but maya is a script and then there is maya.bin
maya from what i can tell just goes to maya.bin

from this extention i can give comand to run them with ./

if i ./maya i get this... boggles3@boggles3:/usr/aw/maya6.5/bin$ ./maya
bash: ./maya: /bin/csh: bad interpreter: No such file or directory


if i do ./maya.bin i get this ... boggles3@boggles3:/usr/aw/maya6.5/bin$ ./maya.bin
./maya.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libMaya.so: cannot open shared object f ile: No such file or director

Install tcsh using Synaptic (run a search) and then run that script again.

ok now atleast maya and maya.bin are working together cuz they have the same error but still this library thing whats with that

boggles3@boggles3:/usr/aw/maya6.5/bin$ ./maya
awpcw: error while loading shared libraries: libawcsprt.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
boggles3@boggles3:/usr/aw/maya6.5/bin$ ./maya.bin
./maya.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libMaya.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


by the way thanx alot for helping me keep it comin please

[Boggles3]

oh nvm lol there not the same errors.. (

cd to the `lib` directory in the maya directory and do the following

sudo ln -s libawcsprt.so.1 libawcsprt.so
sudo ln -s libpcwxml.so.1 libpcwxml.so

Then run the shell script again and you should be golden

[Boggles3]

wow man thanx alot really .. im still a little stuck tho because it opened the product config wizard.. the only problem is i cant go anywhere from there.. i click on all tasks and nothing shows up but i cant click next or anything eccept for done

[Boggles3]

i found the stuff in the com folder and i start the awinfo in root and the terminal comes up asking me a few questions

then it creats/var/tmp/AWINFO."myusername"@"myusername"

what is this for .. i tried going back into maya but i still dont have any options

[black hole sun]

Now I'm in unfamiliar territory. You see, I dont have Maya so I dont know what this dialogue box is asking for. You're running this from a terminal, yes? Are any errors or messages written to the terminal when you click on something?

Maybe a screenshot would help me understand, but I'm afraid you've reached the limits of my knowledge, you might ask in the maya forums or call up ther support #
