Autodesk Maya (all versions) problem - Linux mint KDE using JPEG textures.

[vishwa_harsh]

I installed Autodesk Maya on my linux mint 14 kde version....

it works fine with everything,

until

I load jpeg texture or jpeg file to any place.

my maya crashes without any pop up error, but it shows

fatal error 11 in my terminal.

I search at  many places and found that it is happening due to qt plugins, coz maya runs its GUI using qt.

I mailed qt team, but they are not responding well.

I install libjpeg62 package as some forums said, but that thing also do not work.

Hope, Autodesk team has some solution for this.

I like to autodesk products on my linux os. coz it gives best performance.

Thank you. hope i will have get solution for that

I think its because maya requires a library called libpng or libpng12. Try doing sudo apt-get install libpng or sudo apt-get install libpng12

Hope that helps!

I know this may be a bit rude but if this does work for you, as a thanks could you possibly link me to a guide (if you used one) as to how to install Autodesk Maya on Linux Mint/ubuntu. Thanks, cheers!

You just need libjpeg62 package AND add this line to the maya file (in /usr/autodesk/maya2014-x64/bin edit maya2014 😞

find this line in the file:
setenv LIBQUICKTIME_PLUGIN_DIR "$MAYA_LOCATION/lib"

and add the next line as a new line:
setenv LD_PRELOAD /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libjpeg.so.62

save and that's it. Make sure the path is the same in your system (I'm using #! debian)

hi...
i try that but it also doesn't work...
my libjpeg.so.62 file is a link file to libjpeg.so.62.0.0
and
there is another file named libjpeg.so.8 in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/

thank you for your response 🙂
i will keep trying.

Thank you.

hi....you can put your .tgz file in /root/mayaTempInstall, before you execute this script. (if you have already downloaded maya 2013 file for linux)

this file is for 2013.

hope it can be helpful to you.

hey man,

I installed that libpng liberary but still crashes.....

may be, it also required to preload in maya2014 script.....but i have to find its location.

thank you.

does anyone of you have this same problem ?

[vishwa_harsh]

i think, i need to switch to other linux.
have you tried it with cinnamon or gnome based linux ? may be it is problem because of kde.....i think so.

[Ed_Pina]

Not necessarily. I've only used gnome based distros in the past. Now I'm using openbox.

Did you add the line I told you to your maya2014 script file?

[vishwa_harsh]

yes...i did the same....but it still crashes...
dont know why......!!!

[vishwa_harsh]

it somehow worked.

i try to change the libtiff links to other file and it works fine 🙂

great.

i was looking for this from very long time.

i tried to symbolic link

ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtiff.so.4.3.6 /usr/lib/libtiff.so.3

and add

"find this line in the file:
setenv LIBQUICKTIME_PLUGIN_DIR "$MAYA_LOCATION/lib"

and add the next line as a new line:
setenv LD_PRELOAD /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/

libjpeg.so.62

thank you very much all of you. 🙂
