hi all,
i recently installed opensuse 11.1 and i wanted to try out a few builds from graphicall, mainly because the middle-mouse button doesn’t work all the time for some reason, so i wanted to check with a different build…
whenever i download a build and try to run it, i get this error:
./blender: error while loading shared libraries: libpython2.5.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
i asked the folks at #suse and they said opensuse comes with python 2.6 by default and i need to add a python 2.5 repository to be able to install it and run blender with it… i don’t want to have 2 pythons… what can i do?
Why don’t you want to install a second version of Python? Especially when Python 3.0 comes out, it will take a while (and probably will never happen) until all old files, written in Python x.y < 3.0 , will be running smoothly with the new Python (correct me if I’m wrong…).
At the moment I have 2.5.2 (for Blender) and 2.6 (for programming) installed here and there are absolutely no problems.
thanks guys… Myke, i just thought it would be redundant and a waste of space to have two versions of python on one computer… i guess i’ll just install the old one
i 've tried to compile from the sorce at : http://www.blender.org/download/source-code/
but, following the install instruction that told me to find “libs” directory, i can’t find it. try to run “make” from terminal, gave me a huge error message.
anyway, previuosly i could run binnary file provided at: http://www.blender.org/download/get-blender/
on opensuse 11.0 which use python 2.5, without problem. But, after upgrade to 11.1, i can’t run it anymore.
so, i think the most simply solution is just add python 2.5 to my sistem…
I 've tried to compile the source from :http://www.blender.org/download/source-code/ , but install instruction told me to to find “libs” directory that i can’t find. :spin:
try "make " from command line gave me a huge of error messages.
previously, i could run the binary file from http://www.blender.org/download/get-blender/ on opensuse 11.0, perfectly.
the problem occurs since i upgraded it to 11.1. So, i think the most simply solution is add python 2.5 to my system.
