Hi Minor technical question: Does anyone know if the installer for the Linux version will be compatible with NPTL for Maple 11? Many thanks. Dave Abergel

OK! I've tried playing with Gentoo to see if I could get Maple to work. The short version of my story is this: My initial Gentoo build had glibc-2.3 and Maple-9.5 worked fine. Upgrading to glibc-2.4 makes Maple-9.5 installer fail with the same errors as before. I shall see if my university has a license for Maple-10 and post what happens. Roman - what version of glibc are you running? Should I notify anyone upstream of the problems with the installer? Dave 8o)

Hi Roman, thanks for your advice. It is encouraging that your Gentoo system will run Maple. It may be that I find Gentoo is the correct balance between my desire to control everything about my OS and the ability to actually get some work done! Until I arrive at that point though... I can't seem to get the installer to run with any kind of --help option. I may uninstall my Java 1.5 and see if things are any better with 1.4 as a last throw of the dice. So, does anyone have any other ideas? Thanks Dave 8o)
