Hi kaiwas,

still does not work

is not a error message, nobody can help you with this informations.

Start OctaneServer and Blender from a terminal (xterm) to get meaningful error messages.
If you don´t know what a terminal is, it is may better to go with the Windows version until the Linux version is more mature.
I , as a long term Linux user, had big problems to get the Linux version working but with the help of JimStar I got it running.

Cheers, mib.

The original executable file from the archive does not run. Even from the terminal.

installed in the system libGLEW 1.8

sorry for the trouble!

[mib2berlin]

Ah, make a symlink to your libGLEW.so.1.8 with name libGLEW.so.1.6

ln -s libGLEW.so.1.8 libGLEW.so.1.6

in your lib64 folder.
Same with other missing dependencies.
I stuck with OpenImageIO.so.1.1 and had to run the install.deps.sh in the blender folder with:

sh install.deps.sh --with-all

but this install a lot of source code and libraries.
May you try first to use libraries from your software management.
It is also possible to skip some of the dependencies with skip-osl,skip-ffmpeg but I don´t know the exact syntax.
Searching

Cheers, mib.

Ah, get help from Blender developer channel!

In the install.deps.sh script following are listed:

skip-python,skip-numpy,skip-boost,skip-ocio,skip-oiio,skip-llvm,skip-osl,skip-ffmpeg,
skip-opencollada

Syntax is:

sh install.deps.sh --skip-llvm --skip-osl --skip-ffmpeg

and so forth, than these applications/libs are not build.

Cheers, mib.

Yep, the archive was broken.
I've just uploaded it again, then downloaded back, extracted and run both server and blender. All working OK now.
So, just download it again from the link in the first post.

Ok i will try at home

Post here if you will still get some troubles with getting all working... Linux is full of troubles for end-users...

This is why i switched to mac. <---- this was a hidden question

[matej]

Interesting. Thanks for working on this.

But I've tried to make it run with no success. It stopped at "libOpenImageIO" dependency, which requires 1.1, but I have 1.05. (symlinking it doenst work -> I get errors when starting Blender)

Tried to get a pre-compiled .deb, which wont install because apparently "I don't have libwebp0". But I have 'libwebp2' installed, lol

Then tried to compile it from source, got a whole bunch of dependencies, I don't even know where to start.

install_deps.sh also doesn't work:

Code: Select all

Sometimes I really hate Linux...

Sometimes I really hate Linux...

Hahaha, I know this very well.

For me
--with-all
was/is working.

You get ffmpeg, python and much more you don´t need.
I think you can delete many of this folders but if you have enough disk space ...

Cheers, mib.

matej
It looks like some problem with script-file... perhaps became corrupted too...
I will check it tomorrow.

@JimStar

Probably i got a lot of haters but why you do not target a specific linux distro which is officially supported like Valve does the Steam support on the latest Ubuntu LTS?

I know there is a lot of other good distros but most of them has a little difference why something isn't workin on it.

Personally i prefer Arch but yesterday i installed an elementary because of the simplicity and a well supported ubuntu based distro or you pick LinuxMint - hi Matej - as another popular and well maintained distro.
