Maya 5.0 + SuSE 8.2 SOLVED !!!
 

Ok for all the guys who are having problems getting Maya 5.0 to work with suse 8.2 here is a solution there is some missing libs that you will have to install form Red Hat's rpms

First get
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/8.0/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS//libstdc++-3.2-7.i386.rpm
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/8.0/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS//libgcc-3.2-7.i386.rpm

also get
ftp://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/pub/ftp.suse.com/i386/8.2/suse/i586/libgcc-3.3-23.i586.rpm
ftp://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/pub/ftp.suse.com/i386/8.2/suse/i586/libstdc++-3.3-23.i586.rpm
you will need to reinstall this once everything is done


now do
rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps libgcc-3.2-7.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps libstdc++-3.2-7.i386.rpm

now do
cp /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 /usr/aw/maya5.0/lib/libgcc_s.so.1
if there is one already overwrite it
and then
cp /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5.0.1 /usr/aw/maya5.0/lib/libstdc++.so.5.0.1

now Maya should run now don't forget to restore your SuSE RPMs
rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps libstdc++-3.3-23.i586.rpm
rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps libgcc-3.3-23.i586.rpm


I hope that this helps

maya 5 fix works on gentoo as well
 

well done mate, this works on gentoo as well... just rpm2targz the redhat rpm's .. then extract the files to /usr/aw/maya5.0/lib

damn, that error had been annoying me for ages :)

take care
Rob

PS : any ideas why this problem occurs ?
