Hi everyone, I'm having problems running the Mathematica-FrontEnd 6.02 under openSuSE 10.3. The kernel (in text mode) is working. When I start up mathematica, there appears a message " An error has occurred while Mathematica was starting up. Mathematica may not function properly until this problem is resolved. You may choose to continue anyway, but you could encounter additional problem. " I'm only offered a "Quit" button, there is no other button in this popup window. I think I can definitely rule out font / fontpath problems, the font path is set up properly. I found a crude workaround: Remnoving the mathematica-provided shared Qt libraries (32 bit): rm SystemFiles/Libraries/Linux/libQt* (64 bit): rm SystemFiles/Libraries/Linux-x86-64/libQt* After this, everything seems to be working. Can there be a conflict between the libQt that mathematica provides and the various libs (e.g. X11) that come with openSuSE 10.3? Would be nice if someone could shed some light on this? Best regards, Achim PS: The same problem has been discussed in the thread followin http://forums.wolfram.com/mathgroup/archive/2007/Oct/msg00632.html but with no final answer as far as I can see. -- Dr. Achim Mildenberger IT-Admin, Fak.
