I'm a little confused. What is the version of the openmotif package
on the Maya disk? Is it the same version that we're working with?
The libraries you have in /usr/X11R6/lib say to me that the version
we've been messing with is the same as what you already have
installed. What we want to install is the version that came with
Maya.
We're trying to install openmotif-2.1.30-2_ICS.i386.rpm.
On the maya CD is just a openmotif_2.2.rpm package.
I'm trusting the A|W employee who said:
"Make sure that all of the rpms from the Maya 4.5 cd have been installed. particularly openmotif-2.1.30-2_ICS.i686.rpm"
No again the problem:
No matter what package I try to install (openmotif2.2 (maya4.5 cd) / openmotif-2.1.30-2_ICS.i686.rpm (downloaded) ) I get this message:
It seems that I've installed a 2.2.2 version (of course it would be of no use then to install the om2.2 from mayacd) and I would rather like to use the one of
which the employee spoke as something of which I only can tell that its some version 2 *G*
Hope this clears things up a bit
PS: Thx for the hint with hdparm!
My IBM hd was REALLY slow and laggy under 7.3, because DMA was off.
First I've got 4MB/s at the test (hdparms -t), after turning on DMA i get 44.14MB/s

A bit clearer. rpm supposedly provides the option to "relocate" a
package upon installation. I'm thinking that we should try that,
since the package that came with the CD should be the package
that allows maya to work. . .
Does that mean that the package openmotif_2.2 helds somekind of
openmotif 2.1.30-1 (we've tried to install 2.1.30-2)... but after all -
linux's not willing to let it install itself *G*

It is so far past my bedtime that I'm going to rant a little (not at you).
Linux isn't the problem here, it's Redhat. Redhat seems to think
that the MicroSoft philosophy of, "We know what you want better
than you do" is a good one. They built the monster that is RPM,
and now we have to deal with its inability to handle simple
commands that are, according to the documentation, a part of this
thing. The solution for me has always been to convert from the
Redhat Package Mangling format to a tarball, then decide where
to install the software myself. This, I think, is the solution here
as well, but I think we need that package that comes with Maya.
Try sending me another email with the info on where to get that
package, and I'll look at converting it (I'm going to bed now, I'll
talk to you in a few hours).

Ok, I think the problem is that the libraries that come with RH 8.0
are not backward compatible with the libraries that Maya4.5
requires. What is needed is to download these files, and put
them into your maya library directory, well away from the rest of
the system so that they don't mess up anything else. I have a
tarball of the libstdc++-2.96-98.i386.rpm and the
openmotif_2.2.tgz that belong with the maya package. I've taken
just the necessary libraries, and tarred (and feathered) them into
a file called maya_libs.tgz. This file is available for download
by pointing your browser to: http://pirlwww.lpl.arizona.edu/~mmilazzo/lq
Download this file, copy it to your /path/to/maya/ directory
(usr/aw/maya4.5), and:
[root@localhost maya4.5]# maya

/usr/aw/maya4.5/bin/maya.bin encountered a fatal error
Signal: 6 (Unknown Signal)
Attempting to save in
/usr/tmp/root.030109.0829.ma
*sigh*
Ok...maybe it's because I have Rh7.3... maybe its because some symlinks
or whatever are not there where they should be....
Ok...what the hell...
Tell me moses - which distro did you use? slackware?
With which system did you get maya to run properly - because
I'm going to download this and finish that STUPID mess! DAMNIT!
*really angry*
then we know that this IS the problem, and can fix it.
Another, quick test is to move the maya lib from the end of
/etc/ld.so.conf to the beginning, add /usr/aw/COM/lib as the second
line, and rerun ldconfig.
Isn't there a way to do the ldconfig command as a normal user?
I can't log into root right now because I'm getting an important upload of a good friend of mine and sometimes it's really bad that I've got to log in as root...
If I use the su command and try ldconfig I just get
Code:
ldconfig
bash: ldconfig: command not found
It can't be that there isn't another way, because everytime logging off, logging in... *sigh*
