As of yesterday, I’m unable to start Blender after building it from source on my 32bit linuxbox.

Note that there are no missing dependencies (ldd | grep NOT returns null) and that compilation is completed without errors. Blender, however, will not start from the file browser. Trying to execute it from the console gives me the
“connect failed: No such file or directory
Segmentation fault (core dumped)”
error.

Interestingly enough, I’ve tried a 32bit version from buildot and it fails to start returning the same error. To top it all off, Blender 2.64a runs without problems!!!
I mean wtf is going on?! Haven’t noticed any changes on the trunk logs regarding building on linux. One of the commits made over the last two days must be causing all this.

Has anyone managed to compile recent trunk on 32bit linux and if so are you guys able to start it?
Just curious…

Hi jmcs3,
I habitually build blender from source on linux on a daily basis and from time to time building fails. Whenever that happens (which is very rarely I must say) the devs detect the problem and it is gets fixed a few commits later, that is within 24 hrs.
But this problem is new to me, as I don’t ever recall seeing it on linux in the post 2.4 era!
I noticed that you’re using 12:04 and not 12:10 so it looks like its an Ubuntu thing.
I truly wonder if the same holds for Debian distros, say the testing one. If it that’s the case then it’s more likely to be fixed soon as many devs use Debian. We’ll see.

If the problem persists I will file a bug and hang out on the dev irc channel asking for help.
I just hope it’s something trivial to fix.

i’m starting to wonder if i am not you :slight_smile:

seriously
i also build blender on a daily basis
it is the first time i encounter this ‘strange’ one too

i mailed the bf-committers mailing list yesterday
but of course nobody answered since i cannot give them a lot of information
http://lists.blender.org/pipermail/bf-committers/2012-October/037995.html

initially i thought it was my set up
but now you show up
so it must be something else :slight_smile:

I confirm that and mark this thread as solved.
