The update to v14.0.0 has been uploaded. A list of new features can be found in Wolfram's blog.

If there are any issues with this PKGBUILD, please let me know in a commment below.

Wolfram offers two bundles for Mathematica: one with offline docs included, and one which relies on online docs. I have created corresponding version of the Mathematica package in the AUR:

  • mathematica: As this package has historically always included offline docs, it will continue to do so now. As of 13.1.0, the package takes up around 14.1GiB with all documentation.
  • mathematica-light: For those people who want a small package and/or want to use online docs, I have created this package which uses Wolfram's online-docs bundling of Mathematica. As of 13.3, the light version takes up around 7.2GiB.

openmp should be a dependency of the latest version, otherwise mathematica complains about missing libiomp5.so and cannot start.

@jumper149 I have made a new release of 11.3.0, please give it a go and let me know if you have any issue with it. (The reason you couldn't find the libraries is that they are located in /opt/Mathematica/SystemFiles/Libraries/Linux-x86-64/)

I uninstalled Mathematica 11.2 with instructions from http://support.wolfram.com/kb/12473. Before it was installed without pacman. I lately got the error: /opt/Mathematica/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/Binaries/Linux-x86-64/Mathematica: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1: undefined symbol: FT_Done_MM_Var

Then i installed Mathematica 11.3 with this aur package. The fix @JP-Ellis is not possible because the following files are NOT in /opt/Mathematica/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/Binaries/Linux-x86-64/:

freetype.so.6, freetype.so and libz.so

so i cant remove them.

The installation seems fine I think.

/lib/libfontconfig.so.1 exists.

what can i do now i still get the fontconfig error.

As pointed out by wjhandley, a recent update broke aspects of Mathematica handling fonts. At this stage, the easiest is to just remove freetype.so.6, freetype.so and libz.so so that Mathematica falls back to the system libraries.

I am currently testing a new release of 11.3.0 which removes certain libraries already provided by the system. Although everything works fine for me so far, I suspect this may break things for some users until they install the necessary optional dependencies. I will be releasing the next release in the next day or so.

If you get an error like:

/opt/Mathematica/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/Binaries/Linux-x86-64/Mathematica: symbol lookup error: /lib/libfontconfig.so.1: undefined symbol: FT_Done_MM_Var

then just remove or rename the mathematica freetype.so.6 and libz.so libraries in the directory ${TopDirectory}/SystemFiles/Libraries/Linux-x86-64

Update to Mathematica 11.3.0

Summary of new features: https://wolfr.am/new-features-11-3

Release 2 The second release of 11.3.0 removes various libraries which are automatically included in Mathematica so that Mathematica falls back on the system version. This was done in order to address an incompatibility in a recent system library update. I have been using this release for a while with no issue, but as usual let me know if any issue comes up.

In particular, portaudio may be required (though is not necessary is you only run Mathematica from the command line)

Release 3 Update reflects the new release of 11.3.0 by Wolfram. I could not find release notes (probably a minor bug fix release).

I've fixed the PKGBUILD for the 11.3

https://pastebin.com/PcwuXDw8

Changelog:

  • Update pkgver

  • Updated hardcoded name wolframscript_1.2.0-22_amd64.deb to wolframscript_1.2.0-36_amd64.deb

  • Updated data.tar.xz to data.tar.gz (file inside wolframscript_1.2.0-36_amd64.deb)

  • Fixed bug on a mkdir that interrupted the compilation if the folder ${srcdir}/WolframScript already existed (line 143 old version, missing -p argument)

PKGBUILD already tested, but only on a single PC x86_64.

JP-Ellis commented on 2018-03-14 04:04 (UTC)

I'm aware that 11.3 of Mathematica has been released; unfortunately, my licence so far does not allow me to download 11.3. As soon as I am able to get my hand on 11.3, I will update this package. Sorry for the delay.

@Excaliber You need to have the PKGBUILD and the Mathematica installer in the same directory (a symlink works too).
