Maya For Fc5

[dkripac]

I'd like to install to maya6.5 for Fedora Core 5.
I installed it, but does't working.

$ maya

My compat package is here.

Fixed it!

[luismmorales]

how did you fix it ?? i sitll trying to make this work

[luismmorales]

i cant find this GCC_4.2.0. havent try much thought i just got my ati drivers to work with fc5 and got direct rendering working right and a good fps can anyone point to to a right directions for this. i`n a bit rusty with linux havent use it in about 2 years and still trying to remember how stuff works again

[kjaft]

I got the same problem here an would be very interested in how you fixed it!

Far be it from me to start a distribution argument, but I'm just curious, as I am evaluating it myself: For all the folks using Fedora, have you considered installing CentOS or White Box instead? For all intents and purposes it is RHEL without the support contract and a few graphics. There should be no unique installation issues.

[dkripac]

Hi,

I replaced it, then working.
/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 -> /usr/aw/maya6.5/lib/libgcc_s.so.1

cool, that works! Maya starts up normally and...crashes in the instant moment the main window opens leaving the following error message:

QUOTE
maya encountered a fatal error

Signal: 11 (Unknown Signal)

/usr/tmp/root.20060401.1242.ma

I think its a graphics driver issue, i'm on NVIDIA 8178 which is not certified by alias. I was glad to get it running at all cause of the kernel issue (doesn't accept closed source drivers) in fc5. Which NVIDIA version are you guys using (have you actually got an NVIDIA gc?)? Kernel-wise I'm still on 2.6.15-1.2054 though i saw theres a new version availabe which is probabely the patch but updating the kernel would cause some other things have to be reconfigured (ntfs-support etc.).

bad idea.

You don't want to start changing the system C++ runtime libraries like that. It is going to cause all sorts of problems for the system itself.

Take the safer route and either add in the libGLU.so.1.3 file found on the Maya CD under the support/gl directory as libGLU.so.1 or rename the Maya lib/libgcc_so.1 and lib/libstdc++.so.5 files to something else, and let Maya use the system default C++ runtime libraries

Try this:
mv /usr/aw/maya/libgcc* /tmp
mv /usr/aw/maya/libstdc++* /tmp
ldconfig

Then start maya

OR
mv /usr/aw/maya/libgcc_s.so.1 /tmp
mv /usr/aw/maya/libstdc++.so.5.0.6 /tmp
ln -s /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 /usr/aw/maya/lib/libgcc_s.so.1
ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5.0.7 /usr/aw/maya//lib/libstdc++.so.5.0.6
ldconfig

start maya
nvidia driver is ok.
maya is also ok,but not fine.

[dkripac]

Nvidia current driver was not working for FC5.

I patched it, then remake to installer and run.

[kjaft]

Hm, I don't really understand what this patch is about?
The driver actually worked fine but Maya didn't like it - apparently due to some conflicts with the libGL.so(.1) provided by the XOrg. I simply linked those files to the NVidia-version (/usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.so.1.0-8178) and now everything works fine.
Dunno if thats a clean way to do but it currently works for me.

[dkripac]

Hi All,
How about nvidia new driver1.0.8756 ?

This is my step
#rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release5.rpm
# yum install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia
# nvidia-config-display enable
reboot and select new kernel.

But, I had a Signal 11 Error.

[kacka]

Hi gundam,

I had this Signal 11 Error as well and debugged the maya startup process.
There is a Nvidia environment variable __GL_FORCE_DIRECT which is considered during the GLXcontext creation.
If you set this environment variable to 0 the system routes the GLX commands slightly different ( in fact it is like sending the graphics commands from a remote system )
It causes a slight performance decrease but worked for me.

cheers,
Hansi

Go CentOS guys, Fedora is not for HIghend appz

Just to clarify we try to stay OS neutral on these forums. I would also like to correct your comment in which you stated Fedora Linux is not for Highend applications. While it lacks commercial support found with distributions such as RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) and SLED (SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop) Fedora is not unsupported by highend software developers such as Softimage, Autodesk, SideFX, etc. You'll also notice in the links provided that CentOS is not mentioned by any of the highend software developers used in visual effects, game and broadcast studios. This doesn't mean that support from such developers as Autodesk will not be available just that it will make getting actual assistance resolving issues more difficult. In some cases a developer may choose to not provide support for a customer using their product on an unsupported distribution. This is due to the customer being given adequate warning on what distributions the developer actually qualifies for use with their software. If the customer chooses an alternate distribution then they take the risk of not only experiencing technical issues but also issues getting adequate support through the developer.

First of all I want to thank the ppl who posted to this thread. Got my Maya running on FC5 by fiddling with the suggestions given here. However I've ran into a new situation. Another app (Ogre3D based) requires that __GL_FORCE_DIRECT=0 is not defined or is set to 1. If I do that, Maya won't run anymore (signal 11) but this other app does (and vice versa). Is there any way to define this env. var. per-applicatoin basis? I had set it system wide by putting a simple shell script in /etc/profile.d/

[marlio]

Correction, for all intents and purposes other than technical support, CentOS 4.3 is RHEL 4, unlike Fedora. It is all the packages recompiled exactly as they are. The only difference is replacement of trademarked icons.

While it's a quandry as to bonafide support options with CentOS, I'd bet that most using Fedora or Ubuntu/Debian, especially those asking for help on this forum, do not desire or cannot afford support. For those who need it, saying "I'm running RHEL 4" to a tech support person is not necessarily untrue if you've installed CentOS.

[andyland]

well, it's not exactly true that if you have centos, you won't have any trouble running maya. i have centos and yesterday i updated gcc and i came across the same problem as fc5 users. and the solution was the same - linking libraries. btw, i'm running maya on fc5 also and i have no problems with it.

cheers,

CentOS does make available the option to subscribe to update channels that RedHat doesn't normally make available (by editing a YUM repository file or installing apt), but then the choice is yours to move out of the "enterprise distro" space, and you could do that with genunine RHEL too. Having extensively updated CentOS x86_64 with Redhat updates, I still had no problems with Maya 8. On the other hand, you start with the bleeding edge in FC5, which is helpful if you're looking for the best multimedia and gaming machine, but the quirks of such environments have been already illustrated.
