-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I encountered the same problem, and contacted Maple support. They forwarded my mail to the german distributor of Maple, and they had one of their support technicians reply. His opinion was that it would most likely be the glibc in SuSE 9.1. Appearantly, glibc-2.3.x causes problems with some distributions, though not with others. I can certainly attest to this as my Debian unstable has yet to notice any kind of issue regarding glibc and Maple. As such, I believe that Paul's proposal sounds the most promising. Until then, it's nice to know that 'xmaple -cw' will give you the classic interface with no trouble at all. I believe it lacks some features of the newer interface, but it is an acceptable alternative for most uses. Of course, if your installer crashes, that doesn't help. This is a wild guess, but I thought I remembered a text mode installer. You should probably read through a few of the scripts the installer invokes after unpacking. Maybe there's a command-line option '--noX' or something. Good Luck!
