Hello, I'm having some problems getting Maple 10 working on FreeBSD and I'm hoping someone can sort me out. From the FreeBSD Handbook and from the forums I've found a way to install Maple 10 and have it recognize FreeBSD as a type of Linux. All is well until I actually run it. See, a few months back I was running 6.3-RELEASE with linux_base-fc4 and I was able to install FreeBSD and run it, but I couldn't connect to the kernel because of an rt_sigpending error. This has been documented and there is a fix available (a patch). I was never able to get it working with the patch and eventually I had a fresh install of 7.0 anyways. Now I'm using linux_base-fc6 (because Skype calls for it now) and I've recently tried to install Maple again. When I run "xmaple" (the X version) it hangs at the splash screen. If I run "maple" I get an error (because I haven't activated it yet, but that's okay). I don't want to activate it yet until I know that it is working under FreeBSD because I've had to keep asking Maple again and again to reset my Activation code because I've been trying to install and reinstall a lot. I also tried installing linux_base-f8 but when I had it installed I didn't even get the splash screen, it just froze immediately. One more thing, there is an "activation" program that is included which you can run separately from xmaple in order to activate it. When I run this, the window for it pops up just fine, and I can enter the activation code and everything. So it seems that the command-line Maple is working fine but the X-window version is not, and I'm not really sure why. I'd really like to run the X version so any help is appreciated. jello# uname -a FreeBSD jello.hwresnet.org 7.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE #0: Sun Feb 24 19:59:52 UTC 2008 root@logan.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 linux_base-fc6-6_5 xorg-7.3_1 Also, before I sent out this email I tried to run Maple again and opened a new terminal to see what processes are running while Maple is frozen, and I'm not sure what to make of it. Maybe the reason Maple isn't starting is Java related?
