Mathematica on Debian



Has anyone successfully installed Mathematica 5.1 on Debian? Whilst competant at Solaris on Suns. since installing Debian on my x86 PC, I have not reallly had the chance to learn it too much from the point of view of admin.

But when I tried to install Mathematica 5.1, it complained about some old missing library (libc I think) and after 10mins or so I was unable to get the required library, as it seemed to be a newer version than I could download with app-get.

I did not spend much time on it, so installed Mathematica on a Windoze PC instead.

I have also installed Mathematica on a Sun running Solaris, and had no problems whatever on that. I wish Matlab was so easy - the license manager on that is designed to torture one!!
