You will need support for a.out executables in your Linux kernel in order to run Mathematica for Linux, which is an a.out format executable. If you require any further help with this I suggest that you contact Wolfram Research Technical Support (support at wolfram.com) directly, I hope this helps. --Ian ----------------------------------------------------------- Ian Collier Wolfram Research, Inc. ----------------------------------------------------------- tel:(217)-398-0700 fax:(217)-398-0747 ianc at wolfram.com Wolfram Research Home Page: http://www.wolfram.com/ ----------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------- Ian Collier Wolfram Research, Inc. ----------------------------------------------------------- tel:(217) 398-0700 fax:(217) 398-0747 ianc at wolfram.com Wolfram Research Home Page: http://www.wolfram.com/ ----------------------------------------------------------- ==== [MESSAGE SEPARATOR] ====
