Maple is not free software, see UbuntuScience for alternatives. This guide will take you through the steps of installing Maple9.5 or Maple10 in Ubuntu. We will install Maple and create symlinks to the executables.

Installation

• First, we'll create a directory in /opt for Maple. If you are installing Maple 10, you probably want to call this /opt/maple10 instead. If you do, remember to use the appropriate path for the rest of the commands in this guide.

sudo mkdir -p /opt/maple9.5

• Now, put your Maple 9.5 or Maple 10 cd into your cdrom. It should then be mounted to /media/cdrom. Maple includes a nice installer script for us that we can run:

sudo sh /media/cdrom/installMapleLinuxSU

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IconsPage??action=AttachFile&do=get&target=IconHint2.png We have to run the installer through sh since cdrom's are mounted noexec by default.

• Follow the instructions in the Maple installer and choose /opt/maple9.5 as the install directory.

Symbolic Links

Now so that we can just type maple to start Maple or xmaple to start the graphical version, we need to create symbolic links somewhere in your $PATH. We will be using /usr/local/bin which is reserved for local installations:

sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/bin
sudo ln -s /opt/maple9.5/bin/{x,}maple /usr/local/bin

That's it. Have fun taking derivatives ;)

Troubleshooting

• If you receive errors such as

nawk: error while loading shared libraries: libdl.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

when you attempt to run the installer, see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=283473 and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2184587 .

• If Maple GUI launchs well but it fails any calculation saying

Waiting for kernel connection...

check if you have installed Maple on a FAT32 partition. If this is the case, you should reinstall it on /usr/local/maple for example. This issue applies to Maple 10 and 11.

• If you get an empty GUI window with Maple 11 on Ubuntu 7.10 you need to deactivate visual effects (in System - Preferences - Appearance)
