[gentoo-user] Maya 2011 anyone
Hey guys,
I've been trying to install Maya 2011 for some time now. I get the rpms
unpacked
(http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/dl/item?siteID=123112id=15770983linkID=9242259)
with no major difficulties.
The dynamic linking needed is in place (ebuild I'm writing to make life easier
for other people is attatched) as far as I can tell.
The problem occurs when I attempt to run it. I get (What I've found to be error
20) an error with the licensing despite having a valid license.
Questions are:
Does anyone have maya 2011 running on their gentoo box, and possibly willing to
help?
If not then is anyone willing to help? This has me boggled, I've tried to the
best of my knowledge to make it run but can't seem to get past it.
I've primarily followed this (http://etoia.free.fr/?p=1611) article on how to
install.
The only deviation has been not copying to /usr, /var, there's nothing needing
/etc, and /opt.
I've the instruction of exporting the maya path has been followed although it's
been directed to where the maya install is, rather than to /usr/autodesk/maya...
Help would be much appreciated :)

Re: [gentoo-user] Maya
Well, when I said commercial version, I meant the off the shelf product, which you do have to buy. You can probably try their demo version and see how you like it. I haven't played with their free version (assuming they have a linux version of it). -- Samir On 3/27/07, Mick [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Tuesday 27 March 2007 04:13, Samir Faci wrote: As far as I know the learning edition isn't available for linux, I might be wrong.

Unlike other company that came out with linux versions which turned out to be re-wrap of their 1.0 release of their software from 10 years ago written for linux, the Maya software works really well, and it seems very feature rich.

I haven't forgotten all these little things that Mr. Lucas and his team have taken care of to make my favorite movie, but I was trying not to get far too OT (like now) ;-) Cheers to all fans of Star Wars!
