Can't get blender to run

I just installed Fedora linux core 1. I downloaded the dynamic version of blender 2.30 and when I try to run it at a terminal I get this error

./blender: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc+±libc6.2-2.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I’m new to linux so I don’t know all the steps to correcting this problem. As far a I know Fedora has gcc 3.3.2, gcc32 3.2.3, glibc 2.3.2.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

… try the static version?

it appears you don’t have the right version of glibc installed (if any at all)
or something, I’ve not seen that error before.

That is an old standard c++ library. On Redhat 9 it is in the package compat-libstdc++.

The static version does not support hardware rendering. I have a geforce3 with the nvidia drivers installed and working so I don’t want to use the static version.

there is another version of that file somewhere. In my linux days I made a symlink to that :slight_smile:

You could also try downloading the source and re-compiling it for your system. It’s a fairly painless processes, though the configure script didn’t seem to add an -lpng to my Makefile and I ended up adding that in myself to get it to compile. If you have Python 2.3, you’ll probably need to compile it yourself anyway.
