Maple on LINUX-REDHAT or LINUX-MANDRAKE:

If for some reason the installation is unable to startup the graphical mode, then here are 
the steps of the installation in text mode: 

First obtain the license file "network.lic"  from Waterloo Maple Inc.
http://www.maplesoft.com
======================================

As a root:

>mkdir /usr/local/maple
>cd  /mnt/cdrom/unix
>./install
# and  follow directions.
#Next

>cd  /usr/local/maple/FLEXlm 
>touch boot.log
>chown moe  boot.log
>cp /yourspathto/network.lic network.lic
#Now in FLEXlm you have three things: boot.log ,network.lic, and  UNIX/

> cd UNIX
>./INSTALL_LIC
# and  follow  directions.
#Next, to get an automatic set-up of the license manager when booting:

>cd   /etc/rc.d 
#and insert the following two lines in the file  rc.local:

 su moe  -c '/usr/local/maple/FLEXlm/UNIX/LINUX/lmgrd \
  -c /usr/local/maple/FLEXlm/network.lic > /usr/local/maple/FLEXlm/boot.log'

#where, for  security reasons, the license is managed by a non-privileged 
user, e.g. "moe". Then, Save the file rc.local.

# Next:

>./rc.local
> cd /usr/local/maple/bin.IBM_INTEL_LINUX_REDHAT
#and rename three libraries 
#libc.so.6, ld-linux.so.2 and libdl.so.2 in
#  /usr/local/maple/bin.IBM_INTEL_LINUX_REDHAT
#so that the system own libraries are used. (Otherwise a Segmentation fault 
#(core dumped) problem will occur when issuing the commands "xmaple"or"maple".

#Finally to have Maple in your path set,  make symbolic links by issuing:
> ln -s /usr/local/maple/bin/xmaple  /usr/bin/xmaple
> ln -s /usr/local/maple/bin/maple  /usr/bin/maple
> cd

#Now "xmaple" and "maple" are working.
Happy installing!
