I've updated my SuSE 7.3 to SuSE 8.0 (fresh install), and was trying to
reinstall Mathematica. The installer asks me where I want to install
Mathematica (I select "/usr/local/mathematica"), then whether I want a
default or custom installation (I select default)--after which it
informs me it can't determine what kind of system it's running on.
OK, so I invoke MathInstaller as
./MathInstaller -sys Linux
per the instructions--and the same thing happens.
Same thing happens when I try the Custom install.
Does anybody have a workaround? This is on my Premiere Subscription,
so I'll e-mail Wolfram about the problem, but maybe somebody's already
worked this out.
Mathematica 4.1.2 for Linux.
