Getting Started

Troubleshooting


Ensure that the libnagc.dylib shared object is installed to a system location. The recommended location is /usr/lib.
See also the installer's notes (CLAMP07DAL) for details.

If you do not have permission to install, install the Maple-NAG Connector privately. This usually means installing it under /Users/$USERNAME/maple/toolbox/10/NAG . After installing the Maple-NAG Connector, copy the libnagc.dylib file to /Users/$USERNAME/maple/toolbox/10/NAG/bin.APPLE_PPC_OSX/ . The value of the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH must include locations of the Nag C Library's runtime shared-object components.

In order to run the Maple-NAG Connector from within Maple's TTY (or shell) interface the OSX environment variable LM_LICENSE_FILE must be set to the explicit full location of the FLEXlm license for the Nag C Library. For example, in bash shell command syntax,

LM_LICENSE_FILE=/usr/local/nag/license/license.dat
export $LM_LICENSE_FILE

In order to run the Maple-NAG Connector from within Maple's Standard user interface (Java GUI) a line specifying the location of the FLEXlm license for the Nag C Library must be added to the user's ~/.flexlmrc configuration file. The following line is an example, NAG_LICENSE_FILE=/usr/local/nag/license/license.dat
