Hi, Have either of you tried using linux32? http://www.suse.com/us/private/products/suse_linux/prof/packages_amd64/linux... See also the SUSE LINUX 9.1 Administration Guide, section 3.2. Thanks On Wednesday 08 September 2004 08:46, Adalberto Castelo wrote:
Is the mathematica executable a script? It may be doing a "uname" and it doesn't know what to do with the "x86_64" string it returns. If that's the case, just edit the script.
Sometimes stuff like that occurs during installation, and there it's easier to just replace /usr/bin/uname temporarily with a simple script that returns whatever the app wants to hear: `echo i386` or something like that.
Or I may be completely off...
Good luck!

Hello, I just installed suse 9.1 for amd-64. Then installed mathematica 5.0 for linux (standard 32 bit linux) but, wen I try to run it, I get the error
mathematica cannot determine operating system.
and no mathematica... Now, I gess that this is just an environmet problem, since everyboy says that 32 bit intel instructions are understood by the AMD processor. Is there any way one can trick mathematica into believing that it is running in an arbitrary operating system (standard, 32 bit Linux) or any other way to solve this problem? TIA, Ze
