No experience with Maple 11 (hell, up to now I didn't even know there was a Maple 11), but there is a patch for Maple 10 that'll fix the help.

With the first version (10.0 or maybe even 10.1), help was broken with the Linux version. Cheers Benjamin pgpZIj1GLdFVv.pgp Description: PGP signature

Colin, On Wed, 23 May 2007 you wrote: > Wow, this is news to me. Did the Maple 10 installer work, or did you > have to use linux to install and then copy the installed files across? No problem with the installer. It's java-based and I used the FreeBSD native version of jdk1.4.2. The installer doesn't work with jdk1.5, but that's not a FreeBSD issue. It doesn't work with jdk1.5 under MacOS X either. The problem is documented somewhere on the Maple website. You will also need to apply the kernel patches at http://www.bsdforums.org/forums/printthread.php?t=36929 to implement linux_rt_sigpending. This isn't needed for the installer, but Maple will not run without it.

Did the Maple 10 installer work, or did you have to use linux to install and then copy the installed files across?

Maple 10
I have been trying to get Maple 10 working on FreeBSD 6.2. With the patch to the kernel to add `linux_rt_sigpending', it works fine with the exception of the help command. This gives me: Help error, during help initialization - No help database found The help database file are *.hdb files and they are in my installation. I tried running ktrace to see where it is looking for these files, but can't see anything of use. Has anybody else solved this problem?
