I'm having the same problem with xmaple, I have only the splash screen even with SELInux disabled Any help will be welcome since, I'm migrating some windows nodes to FC6
I had some initial problems installing maple 10 but my procedure to get going with a clean FC6 installation was as follows: 1) Insert the CD and ensure the CD is umounted (it is in /dev/hda on my machine) (change as necessary). 2) Now assume that you have made a directory to hold the install files called /home/username/maple10/cd_files 3) # cd /home/username/maple10/cd_files to check that the directory exists. 4) Now loop-mount the CD: Make sure that the CD is not mounted - and as root create a mount point # mkdir -p /mnt/iso Then # mount -o loop /dev/hda /mnt/iso 5) Now copy the files to the directory in the user area called /home/username/maple10/cd-files, # cd /mnt/iso/ # rsync -av * /home/username/maple10/cd_files/ . (or equivalent) Change to the appropriate directory containing the install files in the user area - you can now umount the CD as it is not needed from this point. So: # cd /home/username/maple10/cd_files/Linux/Disk1/InstData/VM Now edit the LinuxInstaller.bin file retaining its size exactly and comment out the export line as follows - this is crucial! If you don't know how to use vim then don't do this without help! # vim -b +2134 LinuxInstaller.bin change ' export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL' to '# export LD_ASSUME_KERNE' save and quit Now enter the main maple10 cd_files directory again, and run the install script as user (I ignored the warning "error while loading shared libraries: ibdl.so.2"): # cd /home/username/maple10/cd_files # sh installMapleLinuxSU Follow the instructions presented, and allow the install to go to a directory of your choice (Better in a non-root partition so that in future even with a system install the Maple files will remain untouched.) Enter the Purchase Code when prompted. Now add a desktop icon pointing to the application binary in the install area e.g. somepath/maple10/bin/xmaple Finally double clicking the new icon will run Maple 10 !!! In my case the first time running it said that I need to enter the activation code again! However clicking OK seems to load the program fine - next time it just seemed to work. I also note the warning - if your system is using SELinux you may have trouble. HTH -- mike
