[bastardloud]

Hi,

This problem is pretty simple, but I don't have and answer. Ok so installed Maya on my ubuntu(linux) OS i converted the .rpm's to .deb and installed using "dpkg" now when I type maya into the terminal nothing happens. What going on here?

that's really simple.

the quick way to invoke maya is as

QUOTE
/usr/aw/maya7.0/bin/Maya7.0

the good way is as follow
QUOTE
1. make a symbolic in /usr/local/bin/maya => /usr/aw/maya7.0/bin/Maya7.0
2. make a symbolic link /usr/aw/maya7.0/bin/maya => /usr/aw/maya7.0/bin/Maya7.0

the best way is
1. make a script in /usr/local/bin/maya as following

QUOTE
#!/bin/bash
# for maya 7.0
export AW_LOCATION=/usr/aw
export MAYA_LOCATION="${AW_LOCATION}/maya7.0"
export MAYA_PLUG_IN_PATH="${RATTREE}/bin"

# for pixar's prman if necessary
export RMANTREE=/opt/pixar/RenderManProServer-12.5.1
export RATTREE=/opt/pixar/rat-6.5.1-maya7.0
export RATDOCTREE=/opt/pixar/RAT_6.5
export RMANFB=it
export MAYA_SCRIPT_PATH="${RATTREE}/lib/mtor/resources"
export XBMLANGPATH="${RATTREE}/lib/mtor/resources/"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${MAYA_LOCATION}/lib:${RATTREE}/bin"
export PATH="${PATH}:${RATTREE}/bin:${RMANTREE}/bin"

/usr/aw/maya7.0/bin/Maya7.0 $*
