    Installing DETools for Differential Equations

    I just thought this may help a few people with this problem (plus, I can look this up later if I have a similar problem). I called technical support and they said "they don't support linux" even though it clearly says on the CD that the software was made to work for linux. You've really got to hate that.

    Anywho...

    Code:
    $ sh ./install.bin

    /tmp/install.dir.16798/Linux/resource/jre/bin/java: error while loading shared libraries: libpthread.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    That was what I got when I tried to install the program.

    This is the fix:

    Re: error while loading shared libraries: libm.so.6
    I ran into the same issue while installing maple 9.5 for linux on Feisty. However, searching on google, I found this fix for the same problem but for a different program

    http://www.zend.com/support/knowledg...84&view_only=1

    here are the adpated instructions to make this work for maple:

    - copy the cd contents to the hard drive
    - go to the directory /Linux/Disk1/InstData/VM or wherever the file LinuxInstaller.bin is located
    - then do the following two commands

    cp LinuxInstaller.bin LinuxInstaller.bin.bak

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

    - after that, run the installer as normal and it should work
    And of course, in this case you'd change "LinuxInstaller" into whatever name your .bin has. I've changed them to red just for convenience.

    I've got to thank user mark_sfu for that one. It was a life saver!

    Okay, so you get the exact same problem when you try to run the installed program file. Just repeat the process for the installed file and it should work.

    Re: Installing DETools for Differential Equations

    Thank you so much for this! I've got it installed, but I see two files, DE and Differential_Equations. I get the same error when running both. I used the fix you posted, but now when I run either one, nothing happens, no error or anything. Are these the main program files?

    Nevermind, I got it.

    Re: Installing DETools for Differential Equations

    I found that with this little script in ~/bin the installers work without having to modify the installer file, (assuming that ~/bin is in your PATH before the OOTB strings command)

    $ cat ~/bin/strings
    #!/bin/sh

    if [ "$1" = "/lib/libc.so.6" ]; then
    /usr/bin/strings $@ | grep -vi nptl
    else
    /usr/bin/strings $@
    fi
