I wanted to install Mathematica for linux that is a 4 gb binary generic blob that comes as .sh file with no adaptations to usual distributions.
First tried created a new VM depending on archlinux template. It did not work with some errors not finding a folder or something. There is a mathematica AUR package, but did not tried it and wanted to use my .sh that has a possibility to install it where you want, so I can choose my home folder without dirtying my template with the blob. Then tried a new VM depending on Debian and it did not work either for similar problems. Googling for some hint on the error message found that there is some rare unresolved bug in Debian. Finally tried a new VM depending on Fedora and it worked out of the box, installing it in the home folder. So which other system you can try three totally different linux distributions (desperately windows too) until you find one that works? And you can make your tests leaving everything clean as if you did nothing at the end. All that with a unique integration, speed and responsiveness. Well I am in the mood of celebrating. But sometimes it is worth to do that too. We are not in this world only to solve problems. Best Fran -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
