linux install on mint

[matmcc]

Hi,

Just installed a fresh copy of Linux Mint 13 Maya 32-bit.

Installed Nvidia driver 295.40 and CUDA toolkit 4.2.

Unpacked OctaneRender_COM_1025_beta257_linux_x64 and tried to run the octane binary executable but nothing.

The octane executable has executable permissions.

So I wrapped the the launch in a shell script because maybe the CUDA paths aren't being set:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
# 
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/cuda/bin
echo "PATH is:"
echo $PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/cuda/lib
echo "LD_LIBRARY_PATH is:"
echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
~/Downloads/OctaneRender_COM_1025_beta257_linux_x64/octane

but again nothing..

So I'm wondering if it's because I'm using the 32-bit Mint with the 64-bit Octane? Otherwise what am I doing incorrectly?

Yes. And there wont be an Octane build for 32 bit Linux, so better install 64 bit Mint (I see no reasons to use a 32bit os, not in 2012).

OK - thanks
