I recently upgraded to Fedora Core 3 and Mathematica
appears to be non-functional. Two queries to Technical
support have gone unanswered.
Here's an example of what happens
-------------------------------------------------
$ math
Mathematica 4.1 for Linux
Copyright 1988-2000 Wolfram Research, Inc.
-- Motif graphics initialized --
In[1]:= expr = (1/3) Exp[-s] s^5
5
s
Out[1]= ----
s
3 E
In[2]:= Check[Integrate[expr,{s,0,Infinity}],fails]
Out[2]= fails
In[3]:= Segmentation fault
-------------------------------------------------
Many other "Segmentation fault" results lead me to
suspect that the problem has nothing to do
with the specific calculations but that there is some
system-level incompatability. The MathKernel is still
linking to libm.so.5 and libc.so.5 as it did for
RedHat 7.0.
I tried reinstalling Mathematica from scratch under the
Fedora Core 3; it made no difference.
Have any of you had difficulties with running Mathematica under
Fedora? If so, were there any workarounds?
Many thanks.
