[ILUG] Libraries problem prevent installation of Maple 10 for linux

[Rory Browne]

Instead of changing the #! line, I'd symlink /bin/bash to /bin/sh

As for the /lib/libdl.so, check /etc/ld.so.conf, to make sure that
/lib is there. You _could_ copy /lib/libdl.so to /usr/lib ( then
you'll probably find other libs you're missing so I don't recommend it
). Alternatively again, you could export
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
