Also, removing the libraries in duplicate-libs.txt implies the following packages become required:
cairo, espeak, freetype2, glib2, glu, gmp, harfbuzz, libffi, libpng12, libssh2, openssl-1.0, pango, pixman, portaudio, zlib
Since espeak, libpng12 and portaudio are not commonly installed, the files libpng12.so.0, libespeak.so, and libportaudio.so.2 should not be removed. In my opinion the original library files should kept as is unless absolutely necessary.
Actually I think instead of making openmp as a required dependency, a better strategy is to not include libiomp5.so in the duplicate-libs.txt file. The libiomp5.so file that ships with mathematica was from gcc, and the libiomp5.so file from openmp package was from LLVM. I'm sure these two files are not compatible even if the share the same name.
Also the files libpng12.so.0 and libespeak.so should not be removed. Otherwise two more dependencies are needed and it's always not a good idea to add unnecessary extra dependencies.
@qft I have added openmp are a required dependency (instead of just an optional one). Thanks for the feedback.
Note that I will not be incrementing the release number as this is such a minor change (and openmp was already optional). If there are libraries which are required, please let me know.
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
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.

mathematicaandmathematica-lighthave been updated to 14.1. Matematica is being rebranded to WolframApp or just Wolfram. Because of that, you might have to update your current configuration according to Upgrading from Mathematica to Wolfram:$UserBaseDirectoryis now~/.Wolfram(you may need tomv ~/.Mathematica ~/.Wolfram)MATHINITis nowWOLFRAMNB_INIT(for additional arguments to Wolfram)MATHEMATICA_BASEis nowWOLFRAM_BASE(for custom$BaseDirectory)MATHEMATICA_USERBASEis nowWOLFRAM_USERBASE(for custom$UserBaseDirectory)JP-Ellis commented on 2022-10-08 00:22 (UTC) (edited on 2023-08-19 12:56 (UTC) by JP-Ellis)
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.
