I was trying to install o maple 9.5 on Ubuntu Gutsy and I got this error:

Preparing to install...

grep: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
/tmp/install.dir.4876/Linux/resource/jre/bin/java: error while loading shared libraries: libpthread.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


The first step was to check if libc.so.6 was correctly installed (you can find it in libc6 package). Once I knew it was installed I looked for a solution and I found on Ubuntu forum a recipe to solve this issue:

1- Copy the file LinuxInstaller.bin to your computer (it’s often located in /media/cdrom/Linux/Disk1/InstData/VM)
2- Open a terminal window and type:

sed -i "s/export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL/#xport LD_ASSUME_KERNEL/" LinuxInstaller.bin

3- Change the file permission and execute it:

chmod +x LinuxInstaller.bin
sudo sh ./LinuxInstaller.bin

4- Proceed with installation as usual (just point to /media/cdrom/Linux/Disk1/ when Disk 1 be request).
