I would like to run the Windows version Mathematica 7.0 on 64-bit Fedora 17, using wine.This may seem a little strange, because Wolfram Research do produce a linux version of this software. However, I have Windows users for clients, so to use Linux, I really would like to run the same software as they will run. Anyway, I first experimented under Ubuntu using wine 1.3.35, and the installation program worked perfectly, and the software worked well as well. I was pleasantly surprised by this, because Mathematica comes with its own copy of Java, which it uses as a separate process, btu the Mathematica Java includes some native methods, so clearly at 1.3.35, the whole Windows Java execution and JIT engine must have worked. After moving to Fedora 17, I find I am on wine 1.5.3, and now the installer works well, but Mathematica seems to break as soon as it accesses java, with the following information: # An unexpected error has been detected by Java Runtime Environment: # # Internal Error (sharedRuntime.cpp:552), pid=66, tid=86 # Error: guarantee(cb != 0i64,"exception happened outside interpreter, nmethods and vtable stubs (1)") # # Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (11.0-b15 mixed mode windows-amd64) fixme:msvcrt:MSVCRT__sopen_s : pmode 0x01b6 ignored # An error report file with more information is saved as: # C:\users\dave\My Documents\hs_err_pid66.log [thread 85 also had an error] # # If you would like to submit a bug report, please visit: # http://java.sun.com/webapps/bugreport/crash.jsp # err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {e26b366d-f998-43ce-836f-cb6d904432b0} not registered err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object {e26b366d-f998-43ce-836f-cb6d904432b0} could be created for context 0x1 err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {e26b366d-f998-43ce-836f-cb6d904432b0} not registered err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object {e26b366d-f998-43ce-836f-cb6d904432b0} could be created for context 0x1 fixme:heap:HeapSetInformation 0x240000 0 0x23fce0 4 fixme:seh:RtlAddFunctionTable 0x640170 1 640000: stub WARNING: gnome-keyring:: couldn't connect to: /home/dave/.cache/keyring-hmaZEN/pkcs11: No such file or directory fixme:heap:HeapSetInformation 0x19a74000 0 0x63c8c0 4 fixme:heap:HeapSetInformation 0x19b84000 0 0x63c920 4 fixme:heap:HeapSetInformation 0x19c94000 0 0x63d270 4 fixme:heap:HeapSetInformation 0x19eb0000 0 0x63d270 4 fixme:heap:HeapSetInformation 0x19fc0000 0 0x63d270 4 fixme:ntdll:NtLockFile I/O completion on lock not implemented yet # # An unexpected error has been detected by Java Runtime Environment: # # Internal Error (sharedRuntime.cpp:552), pid=90, tid=9 # Error: guarantee(cb != 0i64,"exception happened outside interpreter, nmethods and vtable stubs (1)") # # Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (11.0-b15 mixed mode windows-amd64) fixme:msvcrt:MSVCRT__sopen_s : pmode 0x01b6 ignored # An error report file with more information is saved as: # C:\users\dave\My Documents\hs_err_pid90.log [thread 13 also had an error] # # If you would like to submit a bug report, please visit: # http://java.sun.com/webapps/bugreport/crash.jsp # Note that this is wine executing the 32-bit version of Mathematica on 64-bit linux (as in my earlier experiments). 1) I'd like to offer this information to help to remove this bug in later versions. 2) I wonder if there is anything that I could tweak that might fix this.
