I installed Maple version V successfully 2 years ago. I have had Maple version VI for 2 months. My initial installation attempt failed, so I paid for Maple VI but have not gotten it working.
Maple has a licensing managerie which I successfully maneuvered. After a lapse of two months, I'll be a little vague. As I recall, I could select RedHat or SUSE. But for whichever I selected, Maple installation seemed to still try getting "RedHat" or "SUSE" from the system. As I recall, I thought I might alter a script to force "RedHat" or "SUSE", then get the installation working. I got the impression that Maple did a separate compile for RedHat and for SUSE, so they have a whole separate set of binaries for each. This wouldn't seem necessary if they merely used the same libraries. Maple provides no *.tar files, so I couldn't install in a common linux way. Maple provides no instructions for anything other than RedHat and SUSE. So, Maple will not install without altering one of its files. My initial attempts to install Maple failed [about 5 hours worth], I diverted to other more demanding tasks, but I have hopes of one day installing Maple on Debian potato Linux. Quoting "A.E.
