Hi there,

I'm trying to get the Octane Blender Version to run on Opensuse Leap 42.2 but I get some errors:

./blender: error while loading shared libraries: libbz2.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Can someone help me with this??

You need to install libbz2. I'm not familiar with Opensuse but it looks like you can use Yast or zypper to install the library.

Hi, I am running Opensuse Leap 42.2 and latest Blender for Octane run fine.
Opensuse Leap 42.2 has libbz2.so.1.0.6 and it is possible you have to make a symlink libbz2.so.1.0 link to this lib.
I cant remember if I had to do so.
Does official Blender 2.78c running on your system?

Cheers, mib

hi there, thanks for your help. the official 2.78c version runs fine.

I've checked it, libbz2 is installed.

I'm not a beginner in linux, but also not a pro. And I have honestly no idea how to make a symlink?? Too complicated for me - I've only mastered the art of double-clicking so far, but in this I'm really good

I have another machine running on linux mint 18.1, installs without any issues - although octane is slower than on windows, specially the refresh of the render-viewport is much, much faster on windows 10. Have you experienced the same?

I don't know how experienced you are but would it be possible for you guys to create an AppImage version from Blender Octane??? With this I could basically run it on every distro. Krita for example offers this. Amazing stuff... Just double-clicking, as I said before

Cheers

Hi, it is very easy to make a symlink, open terminal:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libbz2.so.1.0.6 /usr/lib64/libbz2.so.1.0

This create a link with the name libbz2.so.1.0 show to libbz2.so.1.0.6

If you look in to /usr/lib64 you can find several symlinks with shema:
libxyz.so. 1. 2.345
libxyz.so. 1. 2
libxyz.so. 1
the libxyz.so. 1. 2.345 is the original file the other (symlinks) shows to it.
