May2016 on linux - OpenGL error

[Anonymous]

I tried to install maya 2016 on linux (ubuntu 14.04).

When I try to start it the following error shows up:

$ maya

I too am having this problem with Maya 2016. Did anyone figure out why? We are using nvdia driver 352.41 on RHEL6.7 with gnome2

[tomekp1981]

Same here - fedora 22, geforce gts450

This problem went away when I added libGL.so and libEGL.so.   In my case I'm using packaged nvidia drivers which install the libraries into /usr/lib64/nvidia/, so I did this as root to add the needed links.

# cd /usr/lib64/nvidia

# ln -s libGL.so.1 libGL.so

# ln -s libEGL.so.1 libGL.so

# ldconfig (necessary or it won't work)

The best solution would be for Autodesk to link against the versioned libraries (libGL.so.1)

The reason for this issue is likely because the binary nvidia driver (.run from nvidia) installs the links, but other packaged drivers don't.

Thank you jhilliar!! you really solved my problem!!!
