you cannot use maya6-plugins with maya5 . maya-plugins always have to be compiled for the maya-version , which you are running .

also maya5 plugin won't work on maya6 .

If you really need it, you could compile the plugin with the version 5 of the devkit if you have it.

do not exist an exporter fot the version 5?

i really wanna try to use orghe but at this moment the only 3deditor avaiable fot me its maya 5

Nope, maya 5.0 its to damn old. Your alternatives are;

1. Compile the exporter yourself.
2. Export your maya file to an .obj file then import it to blender, and then export to ogre from there. Witch seems the best option for you, since you must be new.

Either way, its up to you. Nothing will fall on your lap.

i tried to export in obj but maya let me to save only in ma or mb i have to set something in the preference?

thanks

Yes, you need to turn on the .Obj exporter plug in. If im not mistaken, and the menu names havent changed, this is what you should do;

Window -> Settings/Preferences -> Plugin Manager -> (enable) objExporter.mll

edit: you should really do a search on most of the stuff you are confuse. usually maya document have all these answers. if not, google helps a lot.

good luck.
