[edit] Installation

[edit] Installing necessary tools from portage

At first we need to install some deps of maya: libpng-1.2, tiff, openssl, tcsh, fam (or gamin, but not tested), flexlm, rpm2targz:

emerge libpng:1.2 tiff openssl tcsh fam rpm2targz flexlm

Also it is unlikely, that Maya will run without qt.

[edit] Downloading the last official release of Maya 2011

At write time the last hotfix of Maya 2011 is hotfix 3, officially avalable at this location: http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/dl/item?siteID=123112&id=15407662&linkID=9242259
Maya Linux available only for amd64.
Right filename is "autodesk_maya_2011_hotfix3_linux_64bit.tgz"

[edit] Manual Installation of Maya files

Unpack and convert rpm files with maya and adlmapps into tar.gz archive and then unpack *.tar.gz files in / directory:

tar -xzf autodesk_maya_2011_hotfix3_linux_64bit.tgz rpm2targz Maya2011_0_64-2011.0-372.x86_64.rpm rpm2targz adlmapps-1.3.34-0.x86_64.tar.gz tar -xzf Maya2011_0_64-2011.0-372.x86_64.tar.gz -C / tar -xzf adlmapps-1.3.34-0.x86_64.tar.gz -C /

[edit] Adding library path

Maya needs to load libraries of adlmapps from non-standart location.
Add /opt/Autodesk/Adlm/R1/lib64 to /etc/ld.so.conf:

echo /opt/Autodesk/Adlm/R1/lib64 >> /etc/ld.so.conf

[edit] Running Installer

Let's start setup utility:

./setup

Accept licence, check "Autodesk Maya 2011" for installation and uncheck others, enter serial and key.
Installation fails, but will create 2 necessary files /var/opt/Autodesk/Adlm/Maya2011/install.env and /var/opt/Autodesk/Adlm/.config/ProductInformation.pit (the last is binary).

[edit] Symlinks to maya executables

ln -s /usr/autodesk/maya2011-x64/bin/maya2011 /usr/local/bin/maya ln -s /usr/autodesk/maya2011-x64/bin/fcheck /usr/local/bin/ ln -s /usr/autodesk/maya2011-x64/bin/imgcvt /usr/local/bin/ ln -s /usr/autodesk/maya2011-x64/bin/Render /usr/local/bin/

[edit] Broken libraries

Maya linked to some system libraries of specific versions. We can create symbolic links to current versions of such libraries.

cd /usr/lib64 ln -s libtiff.so libtiff.so.3 ln -s libssl.so libssl.so.6 ln -s libcrypto.so libcrypto.so.6

[edit] Uninstallation

Remove some directories recursively:

rm -fr /usr/autodesk /var/opt/Autodesk /opt/Autodesk

Remove string '/opt/Autodesk/Adlm/R1/lib64' from /etc/ld.so.conf
And at last remove links to libraries and executables:

cd /usr/lib64 rm libtiff.so.3 libssl.so.6 libcrypto.so.6 cd /usr/local/bin rm maya fcheck imgcvt Render
