I downloaded the 30 day trial of Mathematica and surprise of surprises, the installation script "just works".

However, the executable fails with:

/usr/local/Wolfram/Mathematica/9.0/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/Binaries/Linux/Mathematica: error while loading shared libraries: libaspell.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

the choices on the system are:

locate libaspell.so.1
/compat/linux/usr/lib/libaspell.so.15
/compat/linux/usr/lib/libaspell.so.15.1.4
/usr/local/Wolfram/Mathematica/9.0/SystemFiles/Libraries/Linux/libaspell.so.1
/usr/local/Wolfram/Mathematica/9.0/SystemFiles/Libraries/Linux-x86-64/libaspell.so.1


I've played around with some symlinks but haven't had any joy yet.

If someone has time to take a crack at it, instructions are here (section 11.3.1):

The download of Mathematica is ~1.8GB.


Cheers,

Dru
