Re: Maple 8 on FreeBSD with Diablo

Hi Albert --

Thank you for your tip. It will definetly help, I think, because I
did manage to install Maple 8 on Ubuntu.

I had already contacted my local Maple reseller in Brazil and
thanfully I read your tip:


NB: Don't buy Maple-10, it's not working on 5.2/5.4/6.1



Thanks very much.

Henry

 The best way to use Maple (I don't have maple 8, my versions 9, 9.5 and 10)
 is to run maple without java by typing :
 
 xmaple -cw
 
 (cw mean : classic worksheet)
 
 Hi --
 
 Thanks for trying to help. My question refereed to the fact that, at
 least on my official CD, there is no such FLEXim script for Unix such
 as the documentation (Handbook) refers to.
 
 The information apparently is outdated, or I got sold a different CD
 (I said I specifically would run it in Linux at the time).
 
 I know it's possible to install it. Maybe Maple 8 is a lost cause.
 However, the NetBSD people claimed to have it installed under binary
 emulation. Their documentatio too is unsatisfactory in this respect.
 
 Would you care to share your experience in installing Maple ? It
 would be greatly appreciated.
 
 Right now, I would prefer not to have to buy another license, because
 they're expensive, and just stick to Maple 8 for a bit more, but since
 Maplesoft's support for FreeBSD is non-existent (and even for Linux it
 kind of sucks)...
 
I don't have the best install method : 

Personnaly (maybe it's stupid method but it's work) :

1/ I've get a Linux box (with a officila support by MapleSoft, like
Fedora or something like that).

2/ I install the Maple on this Linux Box on something like
/usr/local/maple-8

You can install or not install flexlm depend what's kind of
licensce  you have.

3/ If you must install flexlm install it

4/ Make 

tar cvf maple.tar /usr/local/maple-8

copy this tar file on your freebsd box

untar it in /usr/local (or where you want)

Modify the file

/usr/local/maple-8/bin/maple.system.type

[root]$ diff maple.system.type maple.system.type.orig 
75c75
 MAPLE_BIN=bin.IBM_INTEL_LINUX
---
 MAPLE_BIN=FAIL
[root]$ 

Do exactly same thing for flexlm if you need.

Regards.

NB: Don't buy Maple-10, it's not working on 5.2/5.4/6.1

 Has anyone installed Maple 8 with the new diablo? What the handbook

 Linux/Unix.

The launch delay is divide by 10 when you using the classic worksheet. 

Of course you loose all this beautifauls icon.

Maple 8 on FreeBSD with Diablo

2006-05-20 Thread Henry Lenzi

Hi --

Maple keeps getting me trouble...
Has anyone installed Maple 8 with the new diablo? What the handbook
says does not apply to Maple 8...There is no FLEXim script for
Linux/Unix.

NetBSD people claim to have it rolling under binary emulation, but
their page lacks details too.

Can anyone help?

Henry

PS: Why does Maplesoft hate us?
