The dirname error is really the only error you are getting. When it
fails, you are trying to run maple under the root directory, generating
the other errors.
On my F11 x86_64 system there is a libc.so.6 present in /lib but it is
a link to another library.
/lib/libc.so.6 -> libc-2.10.1.so
Do you have that link? If you do, the library should be found as this
is a standard library directory that ldconfig will run on at startup.
It is also in /lib64 as the same link.
These same two links are present on my F10 x86_64 system, though to a
different base library.
/lib/libc.so.6 -> libc-2.9.so
Here are the dynamic library dependencies for dirname on my f11 x86_64.
[stan@localhost ~]$ ldd /usr/bin/dirname
linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007ffff87ff000)
libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x0000003d64800000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x0000003d64400000)
I don't know if this would help, but could you run an old version of
Fedora in a virtual machine and run your maple session from there? You
already know it works with old Fedora. So your problem becomes one of
creating the virtual machine. Many on this list have expertise at that
(I don't), but from reading this list it seems that VirtualBox is a
good way to start.
