Howto install Maya 7.0 under Linux

Derived from http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=66859

Install the following programs, in case you don't already have them:

apt-get install csh alien

Copy over all rpm installation files to a local directory. We need to convert the rpm-packages to debian format using alien. Change to the directory that holds your rpms and run:

for i in *.rpm; do sudo alien -cv $i; done

This will take some time. To make Maya install without problems later, we need to create the following link, even though /usr/aw doesn't exist yet:

sudo ln -s /usr/aw /aw

Now we're ready to install Maya: (Change the filenames according to your version. Also have a look at the update at the end of this howto.)

sudo dpkg -i awcommon-server_<version>.deb 
sudo dpkg -i awcommon_<version>_i386.deb 
sudo dpkg -i maya7-<version>_i386.deb

Copy the licensefile over to /var/flexlm (create this directory if it doesn't exist):

mkdir /var/flexlm
sudo cp aw.dat /var/flexlm

Make sure Maya has read-access to this file. I didn't need to install aksusbd*.deb. You should be able to run Maya now:

Troubleshooting

In case you get the error "Can't Find libXp.so.6", you need to install libxp6 (thanks to Rixeh for this):

apt-get install libxp6
