This is specific to running Maya 2010 on OSX. Every so often, someone runs into this error with Maya 2010 on OSX and isn't sure what to do to solve it (even though the error does say what the solution is): ----- Starting "/Applications/Autodesk/maya2010/Maya.app/Contents/bin/maya" Error: could not find installed copy of Maya. Please install maya or set MAYA_LOCATION environment variable to point to location // Maya exited with status 1 ----- In the past, Maya has always been able to figure out MAYA_LOCATION automatically. So normally you never had to set it. However, only with Maya 2010 on OSX it seems you have to set MAYA_LOCATION manually, or Maya 2010 will throw the above error. To do this, find the "MAC" environment variable section at the top of your submit-maya.pl script, and set both PATH and MAYA_LOCATION for 2010. Example: ----- # MAC # Configure the PATH so the most recent Maya versions # are automatically attempted first.. # $ENV{PATH} = "/Applications/Autodesk/maya2010/Maya.app/Contents/bin:". ### <-- 2010 PATH "/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:$ENV{PATH}"; $ENV{MAYA_LOCATION} = "/Applications/Autodesk/maya2010/Maya.app/Contents"; ### <-- 2010 MAYA_LOCATION ----- YMMV, depending on your install location. The above settings are for a default Maya 2010 installation. Maya 2011 on OSX does *not* have this problem, and IIRC, older Maya releases don't have it either. So this is only needed for 2010/OSX. |
