Failed to execute child process (no such file or directory

I just installed Maya 2009 on Fedora 13.

It seemed to run the RPM install fine, but when I go to Applications > Graphics > Maya

I an error:

Could not launch 'Autodesk Maya 2009 (64-bit)
Failed to execute child process "/usr/autodesk/aya/bin/maya"(no such file or directory)

I browsed to this location in the file browser and there definately is a file called maya in "bin"

how do i fix this?

My guess is that the script to run maya has a bug, assuming your error message Failed to execute child process "/usr/autodesk/aya/bin/maya"(no such file or directory) is correct. The "/usr/autodesk/aya/bin/maya" probably should be "/usr/autodesk/maya/bin/maya". In any case, you can search /usr/autodesk for the file maya: find /usr/autodesk -type f -name maya
