If you go to Red Hat 9 like I did you'll need to follow these instructions (copy and paste from somewhere else)-

You need to install all the compatability packages that redhat 9 comes with. Maya was compiled against older versions of the compiler, and redhat seems to think that everyone will just upgrade the moment redhat comes with something new


Either way, install the compatibility packages (they're somewhere in the dist), and then you need to edit the maya startup script as such : (copied from a post by Mark Miller btw. =))



change this block :
----------------------------------
case Linux:
set lib = lib set lsFlags = '-l'
breaksw
----------------------------------



to the following :
----------------------------------
case Linux:
set lib = lib set lsFlags = '-l'
setenv LD_ASSUME_KERNEL 2.4.1 (your kernel version.)
breaksw
----------------------------------

Good luck and enjoy
