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.

@bryango From the log, I would start with installing the Qt dependencies. Not sure which exactly is the culprit, but that's my first guess :) Thanks for the help!

@JP-Ellis Thank you very much for the hint! It is indeed a front end issue; the buggy commands works fine when executed from wolfram command line. However, the crash log seems to be less useful... I've put it here: https://pastebin.com/k8hUQNzL. I'll start checking optional dependencies; it might take some time though.

Update: I've checked, I got all your dependencies, and more... Maybe the issue lies in the packages that you do not have... I'll check later!

@bryango I can't replicate this issue on my end so I'm going to guess this is an issue due to a missing optional dependency.

Can you do two things:

  1. Can you launch mathematica from the command line, cause it to crash, and tell me if there's any indication as to which library might be the culprit?

  2. If the above doesn't help at all, can you check which dependency you are missing that I have installed. You can check the optional dependencies you have with pacman -Qi mathematica (the ones I have installed are below). Once we have narrowed down which package, I'll make sure to give an explicit description to inform others what the dependency is for.

I don't intend to make it a required dependency because I suspect this is an issue purely related to the GUI and thus a server installation with no GUI would not have the issue.

Running Plot3D[..., MeshStyle -> Opacity[0.3]] crashes my 12.0 with segmentation fault and produces an empty graph in 12.1. The latter is described in https://mathematica.stackexchange.com/q/221600; it seems to suggest that this issue is Arch (or maybe Manjaro) specific. I am currently using Manjaro 20.0.1.

Curiously, my 12.0 install worked fine before; it only broke after some recent system upgrades. Therefore, I suspect that these issues are, again, triggered by some conflicts between mathematica & system libraries. Has anyone encountered similar bugs with Plot3D[..., MeshStyle -> Opacity[0.3]] under 12+ on Arch or Manjaro? I would like to find a solution instead of going back to 11.3...

After upgrading libffi (3.2.1-4 -> 3.3-3) Mathematica 11.3 broke due to missing libffi.so.6.

Can simply link .so from /usr/bin or from another place in the Mathematica path it still exists:

# ln -sf /opt/Mathematica/SystemFiles/Links/MIMETools/LibraryResources/Linux-x86-64/libffi.so.6 /opt/Mathematica/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/Binaries/Linux-x86-64/Mathematica/libffi.so.6

Any news on a PKGBUILD for the wolfram engine?

Update to Mathematica 12.1.0

Summary of new features: https://wolfr.am/NewIn12.1

Please let me know if you encounter any issues.

Hi, building 12.1 in a clean environment showed the need for the package inetutils at least as makedepends. Avahi might also be a good addition for the optdepends, since running the installer gives a warning that without avahi it will not use "kernel discovery features". The build does not fail without avahi, but it does without inetutils.

@hmenke Thanks - My licence expired with 11.3 so this is v. helpful.

For others with this issue, the problem arose with openmp 9.0.1-1 -> 9.0.1-2, so downgrading to 9.0.1-1 is also an option if that isn't required by another package on your system.
