RedHat 8.0 and Maya 4.5

[beaker]

I doubt that maya 4.5 is certified to work with 8.0 since it just came out. It only works with 7.2 and 7.3.

[flamedevil]

type redhat or linux in the search field of the maya forum you should find some stuff.

[MCronin]

Nope, Maya 4.5 will not run on RH 8. It's tha same thing as what happened with 4.0 and RH 7.3. A|W may release an update at some point, or a user will come up with a workaround. Your best bet is to go back to 7.3 and watch the boards at A|W to see if someone comes up with a fix.

does maya work with other distributions like suse? because on the AW site is only redhat... any experiences

thx in advance

[uncle_frankie]

compiling libc with redhats bastard version of gcc 2.96?

I'm paraphasing what a friend of mine had to do to get in to work under Debian.

[ghZaaaRK]

i run Maya 4.5 with Debian, it works fine.
all distros are same, just respect any version of recommended libs.

i don't think so , one of my friend are running maya4.5 on rh8. so i am afriad that there is something wrong with your installtion .
oh , by the way , maya for linux is better than the m for winnt???
i think we do not have the photoshop for linux , and i do not know if GIMP is a good one :)
sorry about my bad english :)

[hackyourlife]

i've had the same problem with RH8, MK9, Debian3 and Suse8.1 :(

i really don't know what to do :annoyed:

[meloncully]

yeah, what are the advantages of maya>linux over maya>windows?

[hackyourlife]

Here I'am!
it was just a problem of monitor resolution!
now it works perfectly win kde3 on suse8.1

Btw i still have 2 problems:

-) Do you know how to configure the keyboard to use the ALT Key in Maya?

-)I installed it as root and now i can't use Maya with other user.

Can somebody help me?

Thanks

[flamedevil]

To use the alt key, you have to modify the key shortcurt of your window manager ( in this case : kde ).
Because shortcurt of maya are in conflict with linux ones.

hope it helps you.

[hackyourlife]

yes but which one i've to modify?
there're a lot of combinations...

[flamedevil]

combinations that use maya like alt+...., ctrl+alt....

or modify the hotkeys of maya : Windows->Preferences->Hotkeys.

btw : don't forget to make a save of your linux hotkey config file !!
