Hi All,
I'm trying to install Maple 10 and am running into a problem. I get all the way up to the splash screen for the installer and when the progress bar is about 3/4 the way to the end, I get an error saying the installer has run into a problem and needs to quit. I click on error details, and get:
| Code: |

The java VM I'm currently using is Sun JRE 1.5.0.06, but I don't think that matters, as the Maple Installer unpacks it's own JRE. One previous forum post recommended commenting a line out of the installer, but that didn't help.
Does anyone actually have Maple 10 running on Gentoo and/or able to give me some pointers? |

Maybe it does. Maybe Maple just needs the VM it installs.
When running Maple, your environment picks up VM 1.5, while Maple requires some older version.
I know VM versions are supposed to be backward compatible, but I have had some issues in the past myself.
If you just run I bet you get something like | Code: | | java version "1.5.0_06" |
; and that's exactly what Maple will run with.

Not me, I'm not.

So it took me a few hours, but here is how I was able to install Maple10 on my machine:
Do not modify the binaries with vim -b. It seems to corrupt the files stored in there and leads to the errors of being unable to run gzip -d vm.tar.gz.
Instead, just run
| Code: | | Linux/Disk1/InstData/VM/LinuxInstaller.bin |
from your Maple installation directory. It will likely fail, but no problem.
cd to the directory /tmp/install.dir.XXXX where the LinuxInstaller.bin created its temporary files (where 'XXXX' is the number the installer suffixed; in my case: /tmp/install.dir.14176).
Then run
| Code: | | DISPLAY=:0.0 CLASSPATH=InstallerData/installer.zip java com.zerog.lax.LAX temp.lax /tmp/env.properties.XXXX |
again replacing the XXXX with the appropriate value (in my case 14176) and all should work. If you are running the installer in a root terminal of a non-root xsession, then do a xhost + in the non-root's terminal before running this.
Once installed, try running maple via
| Code: | | <maple dir>/bin/xmaple |
where <maple dir> is the directory in which you installed maple.
In my case, that did not work (the command exiting without doing anything). I had to make some simlinks to fix it:
| Code: | ln -s <jre home> <maple dir>/jre.X86_64_LINUX
ln -s <maple dir>/bin.IBM_INTEL_LINUX <maple dir>/bin.X86_64_LINUX |
where <jre home> is my java runtime environment home. You may need to change the X86_84_LINUX suffix to something else if you are not running amd64 Gentoo (perhaps to i386_LINUX?).
After those modifications, I was able to run maple 10!
P.S.> If this does not work, I would try modifying the scripts in Linux/Disk1/InstData/VM/LinuxInstaller.bin via
| Code: | | gvim -b Linux/Disk1/InstData/VM/LinuxInstaller.bin |
by commenting out unnecessary parts or error-prone parts. Note that this will likely corrupt the vm.tar.Z or installer.zip, so run the LinuxInstaller.bin unmodified first to get pristine copies of these files. Unzip/untar these files in the places the scripts would do so, and then modify the scripts to skip those step involved with untaring, etc. (i.e., stuff with JRE_TARZ, etc.) and work with those files. Try setting LAX_DEBUG to a non-false value for some helpful messages. Set ZIPLOC to a fixed directory (i.e., /tmp/install.dir.XXXX) and comment out parts of the script that try to re-create the directories.
