Je replace ici mon post sur la manière de procéder à une installation propre de MathematicaPlayer. Parce que là je bloque.
Voilà ce que j’ai fait:
- télécharger mathematicaplayer.sh sur son site officiel
- créer un dossier MathematicaPlayer sous /tmp
- installer checkinstall
- puis:
[code]@:/tmp/MathematicaPlayer$ sudo checkinstall sh MathematicaPlayer.sh
checkinstall 1.6.1, Copyright 2002 Felipe Eduardo Sanchez Diaz Duran

The package documentation directory ./doc-pak does not exist.
Should I create a default set of package docs? [y]: y
Preparing package documentation…OK
*** No known documentation files were found. The new package
*** won’t include a documentation directory.
Please write a description for the package.
End your description with an empty line or EOF.
