Can't run Octane Server 2026.1-31.3-beta on Fedora Linux

[Silverwing]

Hey there.
I downloaded The new Blender "OctaneBlender Addon 2026.1 - 31.3 Beta Release (for Blender 5.0) [TEST]"

I can extract and run the "octane_addon_server-studio-31.3-beta.zip" on Windows just fine.

But on my Linux Fedora 43, when I extract and run "OctaneStudio_for_BlenderOctaneAddon_Linux_2026.1-31.3-beta.zip"
I get following error:
libpng error: unexpected zlib return code
Segmentation fault (core dumped) ./OctaneServer

In contrast, when I install the latest "OctaneRender™ for Blender 2024.1.2 - 29.20" "octane_server_studio_2025.4-30.8.0-stable.run"
It installs and runs just fine.

There seems to be a difference between the newer extracted version of OctaneServer and the older .run installed one.
Would it be possible to offer a version of the OctaneServer that again will run on Fedora.

Thank you!

I'll ask the developer!

Thanks!

Hey Raphael,

The developer has a question for you:

"About the Linux version issue, the user said "OctaneRender™ for Blender 2024.1.2 - 29.20" "octane_server_studio_2025.4-30.8.0-stable.run" was working fine, which refer to 2024 and 2025 versions at the same time - so I don't know which one is correct? Or maybe both of them are working? Can you please help me ask him/her to clarify it for me? Did the custom-built versions work for him but the add-on versions didn't work?
Thanks!"

Please let us know, thanks!
