Hi…
Any one have try the blender 2.53 Beta??
I’m trying to use on openSuse 11.3 KDE but blender don’t executes >:(

Any ideas?! Tks

Hello odeartgre and welcome to the community!:slight_smile:

Could you explain what the exact error is?
If you get an error message or not.
And could you post the output of blender when you run it from terminal?

Best of luck!:wink:

this is what says on blender help

Linux, FreeBSD, Irix, Solaris: Unpack the distribution, copy the .blender directory from it to your home directory. Then run the Blender executable.
Install scripts by putting them in the .blender/scripts inside your home folder.

If ‘blender’ is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this:
cnf blender
linux-u3a5:/home/ze/Downloads/Blender253/blender-2.53-beta-linux-glibc27-x86_64 # blender

cnf blender
linux-u3a5:/home/ze/Downloads/Blender253/blender-2.53-beta-linux-glibc27-x86_64 # cnf blender

The program ‘blender’ can be found in following packages:

  • blender path: /usr/bin/blender, repository: zypp (repo-oss) ]
  • blender path: /usr/bin/blender, repository: zypp (cd-704e4539) ]

Try installing with:
zypper install blender

i dont get any error …

From the same directory, could you execute blender by running this command:

./blender

I’ve got the same problem and ‘ldd blender’ will list its dependancies. You’re probably missing the same as I was which is libjpeg.so.62 which is in the package manager if you search for libjpeg, and libtiff.so.4. That’s a bit more of a problem because other posts are telling me it doesn’t exist yet and to create a symlink from 3 to 4 which I’ve done but it had no effect. Any ideas?

Hello odeartgre,

@ash25 I think your right he needs to run ./blender instead of blender.
Or add the blender directory to his PATH variable.

I’ve downloaded blender myself and encountered the same error.
And I think when odeartgre gets it running he’ll encounter the same error.

I my case I had libjpeg already installed.
But I still got the libtiff.so.4 error.

To solve this make sure you’ve got libtiff3 installed.

zypper install libtiff3

Now go to your library directory:

cd /usr/lib

Now make a symlink:

ln -s ./libtiff.so.3.8.0 ./libtiff.so.4

There’s a chance you’ve got a different version.
In that case change 3.8.0 to your version or make a symlink of ./libtiff.so.3.

Now I could run blender and I must say the new interface looks nice!:slight_smile:

Good luck!:wink:

I thing i did not any thing wrong but …!!! now i get libtiff.so.4 error

Hello odeartgre,

I think the problem lies here.
You’ve done this command twice but each with a different version.
The problem is that only one can be installed at the time.

Could you post the output of this command:

dir /usr/lib/libtiff*

Good luck!:wink:

Resolved

cd /usr/lib64
not
cd /usr/lib

my problem … was lib … tk’s to all … great

I ran dir /usr/lib64/libtiff*
and got this:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     16 2010-08-01 09:47 /usr/lib64/libtiff.so.3 -> libtiff.so.3.9.2

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  10424 2010-07-15 01:46 /usr/lib64/libtiffxx.so.3.9.2   

However, when I try ./blender it doesn’t work. Error libtiff.so.4

./blender: error while loading shared libraries: libtiff.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

What can I do?

I have the same problem but the blender 2.53 alpha version is working

Tested Blender 2.53 beta on 32 bits works perfect.
cd /usr/lib
ln -s ./libtiff.so.3.8.2 ./libtiff.so.4
ldconfig

Hello drnn1076,

The question is which binary did you download?
Was it a 32-bit or a 64-bit binary?

I think you’ve downloaded the 32-bit version.
Meaning that it will look into your /usr/lib directory instead of /usr/lib64.
You only need to make the symlink again but then in your /usr/lib directory.

@anton Good to hear it works for you!

Good luck!:wink:

Why is it not working for blender-2.53-beta-linux-glibc27-x86_64 :

Making a symlink :

linux-txrl:/home/anton # ln -s ./libtiff.so.3.9.2 ./libtiff.so.4
linux-txrl:/home/anton # ldconfig
linux-txrl:/home/anton # dir /usr/lib64/libtiff*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 sep 9 22:02 /usr/lib64/libtiff.so -> libtiff.so.3.9.2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 sep 9 22:02 /usr/lib64/libtiff.so.3 -> libtiff.so.3.9.2
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 446154 feb 23 2010 /usr/lib64/libtiff.so.3.9.2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 sep 9 22:02 /usr/lib64/libtiffxx.so -> libtiffxx.so.3.9.2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 sep 9 22:02 /usr/lib64/libtiffxx.so.3 -> libtiffxx.so.3.9.2
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 14087 feb 23 2010 /usr/lib64/libtiffxx.so.3.9.2

After making the symlink I can not see the right symlink ?

anton@linux-txrl:~/Downloads/blender-2.53-beta-linux-glibc27-x86_64> ./blender
./blender: error while loading shared libraries: libtiff.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Hi,
no, I did download and install the 64 bit. I confirmed it.

dRNn1076@linux-pdjo:~/Downloads/blender-2.53-beta-linux-glibc27-x86_64> ./blender
./blender: error while loading shared libraries: libtiff.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Strange tried it again:
linux-txrl:/home/anton # ln -s ./libtiff.so.3.9.2 ./libtiff.so.4
linux-txrl:/home/anton # ldconfig
linux-txrl:/home/anton # dir /usr/lib64/libtiff*

linux-txrl:/home/anton # dir /usr/lib64/libtiff*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 sep 9 22:02 /usr/lib64/libtiff.so -> libtiff.so.3.9.2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 sep 9 22:02 /usr/lib64/libtiff.so.3 -> libtiff.so.3.9.2
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 446154 feb 23 2010 /usr/lib64/libtiff.so.3.9.2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 sep 9 22:21 /usr/lib64/libtiff.so.4 -> ./libtiff.so.3.9.2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 sep 9 22:02 /usr/lib64/libtiffxx.so -> libtiffxx.so.3.9.2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 sep 9 22:02 /usr/lib64/libtiffxx.so.3 -> libtiffxx.so.3.9.2
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 14087 feb 23 2010 /usr/lib64/libtiffxx.so.3.9.2

And now blender -2.53-beta x86_64 works also perfect.
Thanks.

Do you also have libtiff-devel 3.9.2-5.1 x86_64 installed ?

Your symlink is wrong I think :

it should be lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 sep 9 22:21 /usr/lib64/libtiff.so.4 -> ./libtiff.so.3.9.2

try this:
rm /usr/lib64/libtiff.so.4 -> ./libtiff.so.3.9.0
ln -s ./libtiff.so.3.9.2 ./libtiff.so.4
ldconfig

HI,

In my machine opensuse 11.3 64 bits and with the above instructions of this thread.

I did both installations and: Blender 32 bits works perfectly, but not 64 bit.

I’ve got to go now, I try this later tonight!

No I didn’t, Now I installed it and Blender 64 bits opens perfectly.
Thank you very much Edward Iii.
