The Linux version of Mathematica or Mathematica for Students can be ordered dire= ctly from Wolfram at [3]http://www.wolfram.com/. 10.3.1 Running the= Mathematica Installer First, you have to tell FreeBSD that Mathematica's Linux binaries use the Linux A= BI. The easiest way to do so is to set the default ELF brand to Linux for all unbranded bin= aries with the command: # sysctl kern.fallback_elf_brand=3D3 This will make FreeBSD assume that unbranded ELF binaries use the Linux = ABI and so you should be able to run the installer straight from the CDROM. Now, copy the file MathInstaller from the CD= ROM to your hard drive (for directly downloaded binaries see below): # mount /cdrom # cp /cdrom/Unix/Installers/Linux/MathInstaller /localdir= / and in this file, replace /bin/sh in the firs= t line by /compat/linux/bin/sh. This makes sure that the insta= ller is executed by the Linux version of [4]sh(1). Next, replace all occurrences of Linux) by FreeBSD) with a text editor or the script below in the next section. This tells the = Mathematica inst= aller, who calls uname -s to determine the operating system, to t= reat FreeBSD as a Linux-like operating system. Invoking MathInstaller= will now install Mathematica. In case you have downloaded the file Mathematica_= 6.0.x_LINUX.sh from the link e-mailed to you, invoke this shell script= and follow the standard instructions. 10.3.2 Modifying t= he Mathematica Executables The shell scripts that Mathematica created during installation have= to be modified before you can use them. If you chose /usr/local/bin= as the directory to place the Mathematica executables in, you will find sy= mlinks in this directory to files called math, mathematica, Mathematica, MathKernel, and mcc. In each of these, replace Linux) by FreeBSD). You can do this with a text editor or the following shell script: #!/bin/sh cd /usr/local/bin for i in math mathematica Mathematica MathKernel mcc do sed 's/Linux)/FreeBSD)/g' $i > $i.tmp sed 's/\/bin\/sh/\/compat\/linux\/bin\/sh/g' $i.tmp > $i rm $i.tmp chmod a+x $i done Second, replace the string "${SystemID}" =3D "Linux"<= /tt> by "${SystemID}" =3D "FreeBSD" in math. 10.3.3 Obtaining Y= our Mathematica Password When you start Mathem= atica for the first time, you will be asked for a password. If you have not yet o= btained a password from Wolfram, run the program mathinfo = in the installation directory to obtain your "machine ID". This machin= e ID is based solely on the MAC address of your first Ethernet card, so you cannot run yo= ur copy of Mathematica on d= ifferent machines. When you register with Wolfram, either by email, phone or fax, you will = give them the "machine ID" and they will respond with a corresponding passwor= d consisting of groups of numbers. 10.3.4 Running the= Mathematica Frontend over a Network Mathematica uses some special fonts to display characters not present in any of the standard font= sets (integrals, sums, Greek letters, etc.). The X protocol requires these fonts= to be install locally. This mea= ns you will have to copy these fonts from the CDROM or from a host with Mathematica installed to your local machine.= These fonts are normally stored in /cdrom/Unix/Files/SystemFiles/Fon= ts on the CDROM, or /usr/local/mathematica/SystemFiles/Fonts on your hard drive. The actual fonts are in the subdirectories Ty= pe1 and X. There are several ways to use them, as described= below. The first way is to copy them into one of the existing font directories = in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts. This will require editing= the fonts.dir file, adding the font names to it, and ch= anging the number of fonts on the first line. Alternatively, you should also just be a= ble to run [5]mkfontdir= (1) in the directory you have copied them to. The second way to do this is to copy the directories to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts: # cd /usr/X11R6/lib/= X11/fonts # mkdir X # mkdir MathType1 # cd /cdrom/Unix/Files/SystemFiles/Fonts # cp X/* /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/X # cp Type1/* /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/MathType1 # cd /usr/X11R6/lib/= X11/fonts/X # mkfontdir # cd ../MathType1 # mkfontdir Now add the new font directories to your font path: # xset fp+ /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/X # xset fp+ /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/MathType1 # xset fp rehash If you are using the Xorg server, you can h= ave these font directories loaded automatically by adding them to your xorg.conf file. Note: For XFree86(TM) servers, the configuration fi= le is XF86Config. If you do not = already have a directory called /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1= , you can change the name of the MathType1 directory in the exam= ple above to Type1. _________________________________________________________________ [6]Prev [7]Home [8]Next Installation [9]Up Installing Maple(TM) This, and other documents, can be downloaded fro= m [10]ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/F= reeBSD/doc/.
