SuSE 8.2 and Maya 5.0
 

Hello guys after a lots of hunting around I have found lots of reasons for the Signal: 6 (Unknown Signal) Segmentation fault on SuSE systems but after fixing the color settings and adding missing paths the error still remaied and I found that it is due to the glibc so I tried to copy glibc.so.6 form a red hat 7.2 system which is certified to work for maya 5.0 into /usr/aw/maya5.0/lib and now I'm getting a different error

do@strong:~> maya
sed: /usr/aw/maya5.0/lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.3' not found (required by sed)
sed: /lib/ld-linux.so.2: version `GLIBC_2.1.1' not found (required by /usr/aw/maya5.0/lib/libc.so.6)
sed: /lib/ld-linux.so.2: version `GLIBC_2.2.3' not found (required by /usr/aw/maya5.0/lib/libc.so.6)
sed: /lib/ld-linux.so.2: version `GLIBC_2.2' not found (required by /usr/aw/maya5.0/lib/libc.so.6)

My guess is that I have missed a few tings. Any hints would be grealy apreciated.

Sadly, i got the same problem as you. And I installed Maya5 in Mandrake linux 9.1.

After a few hours of trial and error, I am willing to share my new knowledge :)

rm /usr/aw/maya/lib/libgcc_s.so*

These files seem to badly interfere with other files of the SuSE installation, and after removing them the corresponding files in /lib are used, which in my case results in Maya 5.0 working properly on SuSE 8.2. I did not replace the openmotif delivered with SuSE by the one included on the Maya CD.

Hope that helps,
Markus
