Mathematica : Segmentation fault while starting

Posted by Arsh | Labels: Fedora, Linux, Mathematica | Posted on Tuesday, November 18, 2008

If you have just started using mathematica on Fedora x (> 4) and the first time you run it from the terminal and it crashes giving segmentation fault at the end, here is what you need to do. The problem arises because the location of Xlib folders are changed from what it was in previous versions.
  • Login as root
  • Make sure that libX11 is installed,
    rpm -q libX11

    If some version is installed, then proceed
    else install it
  • mkdir /usr/X11R6/
    mkdir /usr/X11R6/lib/
    mkdir /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/
    cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/
    ln -s /usr/share/X11/XKeysymDB XKeysymDB
    ln -s /usr/share/X11/locale/ locale
Things should be fine now!
