hi there,

I'm trying to get maya 4.5 running on debian 3. my only problem so far is (besides having to unpack nasty RPM-files by hand), that maya crashes when I try to launch it.

error message:

libTranslator.so -> relocation error. undefinded symbol __dynamic_cast_2.

As far as I know there are no problems with the newst libstdc++. all my own programs in C++ link and execute without any problems against current releases.

I tried to create a fake shared-lib via:

------------------------------------------------
#include <stdio.h>

void __dynamic_cast_2() {

// nothing to do here really

};
------------------------------------------------

export LD_PRELOAD=mayahack.so

-> and then run maya.bin

but now I only get segmentation faults.

does anyone know a way to get ahead of this issue?

I use maya on redhat 7.3, but I did manage to get maya 4 running on debian (I forget which version, but earlier than 3). I reccomend alien to convert your package as there's a lot of stuff that maya sets up that's a shade below "normal" when you install.

actually, I tried alien.

the problem is: on the 4.5 packages, it no longer works.
spits out a warning, that the type of package isn't recognized.

I manually unpacked them via rpm2cpio.

eww, guess I won't be switching to debian any time soon. Too bad really, I was hoping to in the near future.

I know a few studios that run maya under debian. How to do it is another question that I dont have the answer to. Just wanted to let you know that it is possible :)

I wonder how they overcome the error.

perhaps they use debian stable?
but as far as I know this would exclude XFree 4. :/
