Hi Everyone… I have been looking on the net to get a solution to my problem, but I have not found anything. I downloaded the Blender 2.53 Beta Version from blender.org, when I run it for first time it run good after made a link to libtiff.so.3 (it requires libtiff.so.4 but opensuse 11.2 doesnot have it)… I used blender for a while and I tried to modify the preference… when I saved and I run blender again it showed it:
./blender: symbol lookup error: ./blender: undefined symbol: gzopen64
Hi Edward… It doesnot work :|… I already had tried that solution… however I retry again with your instructions… The problem comes when I tried to save some configuration or to load a previous saved file.
santiago@linux-ivls:~/Download/blender-2.53-beta-linux-glibc27-i686> ./blender
./blender: symbol lookup error: ./blender: undefined symbol: gzopen64
Answering to gropiuskalle… I don’t use the version of the repository, becuase it’s blender 2.4X… I’m able to use blender 2.49 downloading from the website directly. But now I need to use the 2.53 :|… Oh!, the 2.5 Alpha 2 works fine too
On Ubuntu it works perfectly, however, I don’t wanna chance openSuse.
I’m not a Suse user, but a blender activist and I had the same gzopen64 problem; solved it just the same way as Edward_Iii said =)) also made a script and menu entry for the windowmanager. The following text explains how i did it, assuming that blender is not a system-wide installed, but living in my home directory /home/USER/soft/blnder-2.53
Using the supplied script “blender-softwaregl” as referance , I made this (I know it could be simplier, just export and exec, but I decided to follow blender’s developers style =)) ), so here we are:
