Mathematica Installation Tip (`ZLIB_1.2.9' not found)
I upgraded to bodhilinux 5 from bodhilinux 4.xx. After Reinstalling Mathematica (9.0 students edition) clicking the icon did not launch mathematica. Running $mathematica in the terminal yielded -
/usr/local/Wolfram/Mathematica/9.0/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/Binaries/Linux-x86-64/Mathematica: /usr/local/Wolfram/Mathematica/9.0/SystemFiles/Libraries/Linux-x86-64/libz.so.1: version `ZLIB_1.2.9' not found (required by /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpng16.so.16)
In such a situation, the thing to do is (assuming the default installation of Mathematica 9 (Students Edition),
1. cd /usr/local/wolfram/mathematica/9.0/systemfiles/libraries/linux-x86-64
2. sudo mv libz.so.1 libz.so.1.old
3. sudo ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libz.so.1
This is not a question, but rather the answer, in case anyone requires it.
