ok, i found this over on the highend 3d forums, i take no credit for discovering this or for making it.

here is what you have to do:

Goes as follows; install all the compat-libs off the CD's
then edit the maya startup script
and change this
case Linux:
set lib = lib
set lsFlags = '-l'
breaksw
----
to this

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

save
and maya will execute normally.
thats all there is to it

and for those wondering, you just need to edit the /usr/aw/maya4.5/bin/Maya4.5 ( ithink thats the filename) and just fix what is said above, and voila!


thank you so much 1000101 for finding a way for this to work :)

when you try to start it, it gives you an error saying something in some library isnt pointing to something.

lol. i dont exactly remember the exact things it said, if i was in linux i would re-create the error for you but i am not right now.

just courious about the screnshot, can you change the colors of Maya Interface in linux, since I notice that you have a gnome theme but Maya is on it's default colors, I like to use a darker gray...

The problem with Maya under Red Hat 9.1, from what I understand, has to do with the libraries it was compiled against. The latest version of Red Hat has the most recent libraries, and Maya was compiled against (and expects to work with) an older version of the libraries. Not a big problem. Apparently Maya 5.0 was compiled with the latest version of the compiler under Linux, so it shouldn't have this problem under Red Hat 9.1. Can anyone confirm this?

This is the same kind of problem where you have to compile plugins under Windows with the same compiler version that Maya was compiled with in order for them to work. Because compilers tend to change the code they generate from version to version, you have to make sure your program and your libraries and plugins were all compiled with the same compiler.
