What is your graphics card and Did you installed the good opengl drivers for your card ?

[funwun]

what the wrong code say???
is this card's wrong??

[flamedevil]

The code doesn't notice anything about the card, it's a problem in the linux librairies.

What is your graphics card, nvidia ? ati ? matrox ?

[edit] : when you when you was installing red hat, what card did you choose ?

[pyromania]

Maya 4.5 was never certified to run on red-hat 9, so alot of the libraries red-hat used arn't compatible with maya.

To get around this you have to install the compatability libs from the red-hat CD lib-compat something.rpm and then edit your maya startup script and add a line like

setenv LD_ASSUME_KERNEL 2.4.1

Then it should work.

[funwun]

where can I find lib-compat something.rpm and
maya startup script ????

[funwun]

where the line added??

[pyromania]

for lib-compat I'm talking about all the RPMs that have the word compat in them

glibc-compat
libcompat

You should be able to use the red-hat package utility and browse through all the available packages. Sorry I can't be more specific, but I don't have a red-hat box in front of me.

For the maya startup script its the /usr/local/aw/bin/maya file that you normally run. Its actually a shell script that you can edit in a text editor.

You will see some line like

case Linux:
set lib = lib
set lsFlags = '-l'
breaksw

you need to change it to

case Linux:
set lib = lib
set lsFlags = '-l'
setenv LD_ASSUME_KERNEL 2.4.1
breaksw
