Autodesk Maya does not start - missing libfam.so.0

So I came across my copy of Maya 8 from college while cleaning. I got it to install on Manjaro but it keeps telling me that libfam.so.0 can not be found. I installed gamin via yay and it seemed to install okay but Maya keeps throwing the libfam error. Does anyone know if I have to create a symlink and if so from what to what path?

This Maya?

Autodesk Maya 3D Animation, Modelling, Simulation and Rendering Software

You probably won’t convince the one you have to install / run on your current system.

It’s in AUR:

AUR (en) - maya

AUR (en) - Packages

Manjaro is a rolling release and as such has relatively new versions of everything. So it is generally hard to run retro software without some tweaks and the danger to break the system. And that is unsupported. Right now - nothing from the official repos provides that library.

So it is up to you - compile from source, run binaries, research what aur package provides the librara, using flatpak or appimage, installing the current version from aur… you are on your own and in an uncharted territory in any case.
