maya 4.5

eNTi · Posted: Mon Dec 30, 2002 12:53 am Post subject: maya 4.5

what exactly do i need if i want to run maya 4.5 under gentoo linux? is anyone having experiences with it? i get the following error message, when trying to run maya:

/usr/aw/maya4.5/bin/maya.bin: relocation error: /usr/aw/maya4.5/lib/libTranslators.so: undefined symbol: __dynamic_cast_2

i've read through some post dealing with __dynamic_cast_2 and came to the unfulfilling conclusion that i have a "wrong" binary version, that is compiled for another linux distribution. i don't really understand what one distro differs from another in sys-style (not thinking of configuration) besides things one linux installation differs from another even from the same distro. i've not installed the openmotiv-lib that comes with maya, but i've tried it and got the same error message.

the dev's from alias won't help me either cause gentoo is not supported. *ARGH*

any help appreciated

How about give us a copy and we'll figure it out.

as for how i do interprete this error message, the lib's won't work with my system. maybe because of a wrong glibc or kernel. the error message originates from a maya naitive lib as you can see. this lib isn't looking for another lib, but refuses to work with my system configuration. at least i think so. :roll:

Download libstdc++-2.96-98.i386.rpm and install the libraries in it.
I used `rpm -i libstdc++-2.96-98.i386.rpm | cpio -idv` and copied them to Maya's 'lib' -directory. I also made /etc/env.d/99maya file which has LDPATH=/usr/aw/maya/lib in it.
Then run env-update and ldconfig

(X bit-depth has to be 24.)

thx for the replies so far.

this is what happens if i try what you tell me. i've downloaded the lib.

rpm -ihv --nodeps libstdc++-2.96-98.i386.rpm | cpio -idv /usr/aw/maya/lib/
package libstdc++-2.96-98 is already installed
cpio: premature end of archive

should i unmerge libstdc++ before i install the rpm's? do i need the openmotif provided by maya too? i've not found if it's explicitly needed.

my other concern is about compatibility. if i install the rpm, will my other packages still work? do i break my emerged libstdc++ package? as far as i can see, the cpio will only copy the files to my maya libs dir without destroying the other libstdc++ i've already installed.

Hmm.. well, then i remember the command-line wrong. The thing is, that you just need to unpack the RPM-file not install. Then copy the libraries in it to Mayas library directory. And no, you don't need to install openmotif (iirc).
