Peter, it is not so hard if you understand it once:

ln -s libboost-filesystem1.55.0 libboost-filesystem1.51.0

Produce a softlink called libboost-filesystem1.51.0 show to your libboost-filesystem1.55.0

Start Blender again to get the next dependency.

Cheers, mib.

This is easy, you just reversed the file names, swap them and it should work like mib2berlin's example.

Peter that was the case for me too. I hadn't noticed that the lib the terminal told me was missing, was ANOTHER lib (with similar name) and I thought it kept repeating the 1st lib... take a closer look at the filenames it says is missing

Still don't get it
Tomorrow I'll dive a little deeper into all that library stuff. I think it's useless to try to do something that I don't realy understand.
I'll let you know when it worked for me...

Hi JimStar, I am missing the Rotation settings in texture environment panel.
If I add a Rotation node it work not correctly.
Picture is from manual.

Cheers, mib

Hi JimStar,

the rotation can or even has to be managed over a transformation node in the node editor: Or are you just missing it in the place directly in the panel you showed?

Hi PeterLux, I think you meant me.
As I mention the Rotation Node is not working correctly, it deformed the map.
It would be nice to have this setting in the World panel again.

Thanks, mib

Hi Jimstar, I just upgraded to Ubuntu 14.04 and after struggling a bit with all the new library versions it comes up with I was able to get Octane for Blender up and running. However, when I activate OctaneServer I get the following error: Nevertheless, Octane Standalone is activated and running properly. How can I fix this?

Regards,
Alvaro

EDIT:
Nevermind, I still hadn't entered the license info in blender's fields. It's all working fine now. My Bad!

Hello Jim!

I have an issue with the last octane plugin of blender on linux, i don't know if its a bug, but when i launch a render with both my 2 graphics card (gtx 560 ti and 660 ) if i end the render with esc all the graphics card continue to work until they ultimate all the samples, the only way to stop the graphic cards its to close manually octaneserver.
On the other versione of the plugin i never add this problem, neither on the octane standalone version.

Thx

Hi there, I am on a fresh Mint 17 (14.04) system now

I used to do the soft link hack cause the build trick didn't work on my older system...
What do I do now? I remember that the good old soft link lib hack didn't work alone and I had
to run the install deps too after it.

I tried the help for install deps and it says :
"WARNING! Beware of recent Ubuntu/Debian!!!
Ubuntu 14.4 and Debian Jessie come with a default libyaml-cpp in 0.5 version, while their ocio package still
uses the 0.3 version. You have to use '--libyaml-cpp-ver=0.3' option (else Blender will builds with 0.5,
and break when using packaged ocio)...
"


Do I modify the file to have the 0.3 version?
and what is this ocio package?!?
The synaptic package system shows that both 0.3 & 0.5 can be installed (both are missing right now)
What do I do?
Do I try the build solution (If I can find the thread jimstar posted it!) ???
