Hi All,
I currently have Maya 2009SP1a up and running on Linux CentOS 5.3,
but Imf_disp doesn’t work!,when I launch it from the command shell,I get an error “Error while loading shared libraries: libXm.so.3 :cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory”
I have libXm.so.3 loaded in my system (/usr/autodesk/maya2009-x64/lib/libXm.so.3)
I have root privileges
so, what’s wrong?
I’m quite new to Linux…
thanks in advance

cheers,Luca

Does this help? http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/ser...58&CMP=OTC-RSSSUP01|Error

using ldd shows that imf_disp has a dependency on libXm.so.3, but imf_disp doesn’t know where to find the library, has to assume it installed in the system /usr/lib64 directory.
Would appear that imf_disp is expecting an older RHEL openmotif package to be installed and have a libXm.so.3 library in /usr/lib64

ldd imf_disp
linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fffee1ff000)
libXm.so.3 => not found
libXt.so.6 => /usr/lib64/libXt.so.6 (0x0000003841a00000)
libX11.so.6 => /usr/lib64/libX11.so.6 (0x00000038fd800000)
libXext.so.6 => /usr/lib64/libXext.so.6 (0x00000038fe800000)
libXp.so.6 => /usr/lib64/libXp.so.6 (0x00002aacc91ff000)

RHEL 5.3/5.4 has a newer version 4 libXm.so.4 not the earlier version 3

Options: 

1) copy Maya’s libXm.so.3 to /usr/lib64
2) find/install an earlier version, RHEL 4.x should have the older version
3) create a wrapper script to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to Maya’s lib directory to pick up Maya’s version

take a look at the wrapper scripts in the maya bin directory

maya
fcheck
...

these are all shell scripts that check the environment and where they are launched from and set LD_LIBRARY_PATH (among other setup) before launching the actual programs

maya.bin
fcheck.bin
