I've been searching everywhere for a solution to this problem and I'm pretty new to Linux. I have followed the instructions on several blogs about installing Maya 2012 on Ubuntu, but when I try to run Maya via the "maya" command, I receive this error:

/usr/autodesk/maya2012-x64/bin/maya.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Can anyone help? I have no idea what to do...

HOW TO INSTALL MAYA2012X64BIT in Ubuntu

Step 1

Download Autodesk Maya 2012 Hotfix 4 from here.

Step 2

We have to install required packages. Open Terminal and paste these codes:

sudo apt-get install csh tcsh libglw1-mesa libglw1-mesa-dev mesa-utils libaudiofile-dev libaudiofile0 libaudiofile0-dbg elfutils gamin libxp6 libxpm4 libxt6 libxp6 libxmu6 libxau6 libxinerama1 libxprintapputil1 libxprintutil1 xfs xfstt ttf-liberation ttf-mscorefonts-installer xfonts-100dpi xfonts-75dpi alien

Step 3

Copy the downloaded tar file (autodesk_maya_2012_english_linux_64bit_hf4.tgz) in /home/Username/Maya2012_setup

Step 4

Go to terminal and type:

cd /home/username/maya2012_setup

Step 5

tar -zxvf utodesk_maya_2012_english_linux_64bit_hf4.tgz

Step 6

For i in *.rpm; do sudo alien -cv $i; done

Step 7

sudo dpkg -i adlmapps4_4.0.35-1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i adlmflexnetserver_4.0.35-1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i adlmflexnetclient_4.0.35-1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i maya2012-0-64_2012.0-327_amd64.deb

Step 8

Create a temporary folder for Maya:

sudo mkdir /usr/tmp
sudo chmod 777 /usr/tmp

Step 9

$ sudo sh -c “echo ‘setenv LC_ALL en_US.UTF-8′ >> /usr/autodesk/maya2012-x64/bin/maya2012″

Step 10

$ /usr/autodesk/maya2012-x64/bin/licensechooser /usr/autodesk/maya2012-x64/ standalone unlimited

Step 11

Export a couple of variables

sudo -i
export MAYA_LOCATION=/usr/autodesk/maya2012-x64
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/Autodesk/Adlm/R4/lib64/

Step 12

Pass the serial number and the product key to Maya

/usr/autodesk/maya2012-x64/bin/adlmreg -i S 657D1 657D1 2012.0.0.F serial_number /var/opt/Autodesk/Adlm/Maya2012/MayaConfig.pit

Step 13

Navigate to our Maya2012_setup folder

cd /home/Username/Maya2012_setup

Step 14

Create a file named mayaInstall.c in Maya2012_setup. Open it with your text editor and paste this line:

int main (void) {return 0;}

Save and compile it with this command:

gcc mayainstall.c

Now you should have a file called a.out. Backup your /usr/bin/rpm with this command:

sudo mv /usr/bin/rpm /usr/bin/rpm_backup

and replace rpm with a.out:

sudo cp a.out /usr/bin/rpm

Step 15

Type following command:

./setup

This will start setup, deselect DMM, backburner and go next

Use these serial:

serial      :666-42943644
product key :657D1 

Step 16

cd /usr/autodesk/maya2012-x64/lib/
ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtiff.so.4.3.4 /usr/lib/libtiff.so.3
ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.0.9.8 /usr/lib/libssl.so.6

Step 17

Open /usr/autodesk/maya2012-x64/bin/maya2012 with a text editor and add the command

setenv LC_ALL C

After this line

setenv LIBQUICKTIME_PLUGIN_DIR "$MAYA_LOCATION/lib"

Step 18

Go to terminal and type:

maya

Enjoy Maya and make cool effects and Animations.

It seems like You need to install libssl. Go to Ubuntu software center and try to install

libssl 

packages. However the issue may be that You need newer/older version of libssl to run program. The I would reccomend to download and compile libssl in the requested version and copy it into the folder, where maya.bin is located.
