If Maple is having trouble activating or if no activation window appears when running the activation script you may be missing some 32-bit compatibility libraries.
In order for the activation script to work on a 64-bit Linux system, you may need to install 32-bit compatibility libraries. To do this, one or more of the following packages should be installed:
- glibc.i686
- ia32-libs
- ld-lsb
- libc6-i386
- libc6:i386
- libstdc++6:i386
- lsb
- lsb-base
- lsb-core
Note: You can determine if you have LSB (Linux Standard Base) installed on you machine by attempting to print the distribution information:
lsb_release -a
To install a package, you will need to execute a distribution-specific command at a Terminal Window with %package% replaced by the package name. Note that only Red Hat, SUSE, and Ubuntu are officially supported, but the other distributions listed below may still work:
-
Fedora, Red Hat, CentOS, SUSE
sudo yum install %package%
or
sudo dnf install %package%
Notes:
-
Red Hat may require redhat-lsb.
-
SUSE likely needs lsb.
-
-
Ubuntu, Mint:
sudo apt-get install %package%
Note: Ubuntu likely needs both lsb-base and lsb-core, and the packages may need to be downloaded. It may also need ia32-libs (Ubuntu) or libc6-i386-amd64-cross (Ubuntu).
-
Debian
sudo dpkg -i %package%
-
Arch Linux:
pacman -S %package%
Note: Arch Linux likely needs ld-lsb. See here for further information.
In some cases on Arch Linux you may encounter an error saying that the Kernel Connection hasn't been established if Maple isn't activated.
