[gentoo-user] Maya
This may be a silly question, but I am trying to understand if Maya is free for Linux - despite it being a commercial product. The License page says that we should go to http://www.aliaswavefront.com/spar to register, but the link is dead. What do you know about this package and the license thing? -- Regards, Mick pgp74STcQzy6z.pgp Description: PGP signature

Autodesk Maya "Learning" (an old version) is free - but only available for Windows and Mac OSX AFAIK. Never heard of a Linux version - let alone Gentoo.

Re: [gentoo-user] Maya
As far as I know the learning edition isn't available for linux, I might be wrong. They do have their commercial version which works great on linux. Unlike other company that came out with "linux" versions which turned out to be re-wrap of their 1.0 release of their software from 10 years ago written for linux, the Maya software works really well, and it seems very feature rich. (Not that I can make heads or tails of half the features it has). Hope that helped. -- Samir On 3/26/07, Mick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: On Sunday 25 March 2007 18:57, Neil Walker wrote: > Mick wrote: > > This may be a silly question, but I am trying to understand if Maya is > > free for Linux - despite it being a commercial product. > > > > The License page says that we should go to > > http://www.aliaswavefront.com/spar to register, but the link is dead. > > > > What do you know about this package and the license thing? > > Hmm.

Re: [gentoo-user] Maya
Well, when I said commercial version, I meant the off the shelf product, which you do have to buy. You can probably try their demo version and see how you like it. I haven't played with their free version (assuming they have a linux version of it). -- Samir On 3/27/07, Mick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: On Tuesday 27 March 2007 04:13, Samir Faci wrote: > As far as I know the learning edition isn't available for linux, I might be > wrong. > > They do have their commercial version which works great on linux.

[gentoo-user] Maya 2011 anyone
Hey guys, I've been trying to install Maya 2011 for some time now. I get the rpms unpacked (http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/dl/item?siteID=123112&id=15770983&linkID=9242259) with no major difficulties. The dynamic linking needed is in place (ebuild I'm writing to make life easier for other people is attatched) as far as I can tell. The problem occurs when I attempt to run it. I get (What I've found to be error 20) an error with the licensing despite having a valid license. Questions are: Does anyone have maya 2011 running on their gentoo box, and possibly willing to help? If not then is anyone willing to help? This has me boggled, I've tried to the best of my knowledge to make it run but can't seem to get past it. I've primarily followed this (http://etoia.free.fr/?p=1611) article on how to install. The only deviation has been not copying to /usr, /var, there's nothing needing /etc, and /opt. I've the instruction of exporting the maya path has been followed although it's been directed to where the maya install is, rather than to /usr/autodesk/maya...
