@Naked I reverted the RPATH patches, maybe that could fix things for you. I didn't pump the pkgrel to avoid possibly unnecessary rebuilds for everyone else.
After a week of stable operation, the kernel stopped starting and freezing at this point (there are no errors):
Wolfram 14.3.0 Kernel for Linux x86 (64-bit)

I haven't found any similar cases on the forums, has anyone come across this?
I've also updated the PKGBUILD to strip a number of insecure RPATH and RUNPATH entries that namcap previously flagged. These paths were likely leftover from Wolfram's CI/build environment and weren't actively used by the binaries. While not a major security issue in typical (non-root) usage, removing them could improve safety on multi-user systems. I've also reported the issue to Wolfram Support.
Let me know if you run into any issues after this change!
If for anyone else web documentation is not opening I tracked it down to mathematica setting its own QT_PLUGIN_PATH which then in turn crashes kde-open. I don't know whose bug is it, but for now I just patched xdg-open to unset QT_PLUGIN_PATH.
Seems the Mathematica_14.0.0_LINUX.sh not avaliable any more, the PKGBUILD is broken.
I'm leaving a comment because I do this once a year or less, and I remember that before I had to download a file from Wolfram's website. Now, it seems that as long as you're logged in beforehand via your browser, it does everything for you, which is pretty neat!
MathInstaller is a bash script, so it is better to run it directly with bash (my sh was not symlinked to bash, which resulted in 3634 Syntax error: Bad for loop variable). Also, I think there are now some outdated comments before prepare().
Additionally, I include a patch which makes it easier to change the "installation directory" (as of now, it is hardcoded at many places to be /opt/Mathematica).
Patches can be found in this gist.
Edit: whoops, this was meant in general for the mathematica package, somehow I posted it first in here..

With 13.1, Wolfram now 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 13.1.0, the light version takes up around 6.9GiB.
