Hello. I wanted to report problem with installation of Maple1102LinuxUpgrade.bin in Gentoo Linux. My attempts to install it failed with the following error: peter@camobap ~/tmp $ ./Maple1102LinuxUpgrade.bin Preparing to install... Extracting the JRE from the installer archive... Unpacking the JRE... Extracting the installation resources from the installer archive... Configuring the installer for this system's environment...

Please, could you add some option for Gentoo Linux so we could avoid symlink resolution of resolveLink function? The workaround for this problem currently is to cd /usr/bin rm java cp run-java-tool java That'll disable symlink resolution in resolveLink. But of course, Gentoo users need a fix for this problem... BTW. It's quite possible that any maple installation is broken, not just upgrade I've mentioned above. Previously I did not had such problem may be because I had sun-jdk version 1.4* installed while now I'm not. There is a difference of how old java is handled and I had /opt/sun-jdk-1.4.X.XX/bin in my PATH, while now I'm not and everything happens trough run-java-tool wrapper. See additional info on how java is handled in gentoo here: http://java.gentoo.org If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask. I'm a bit involved in gentoo development, on the other hand not in java related development, but it's easier for me to find people to answer your questions. Thank you for your time, Peter.
