Errors and Segfault trying to launch 2.49b

General Forums Blender and CG Discussions

Hi,

Built blender for my recently upgraded desktop. It’s a dekstop running Ubuntu Karmic. And while it built fine, running it generates some errors and a segfault. Google turns up nothing on these names, wondering if someone can tell what the problem might be. Incidentally, 2.50 built and works great on this very same machine.

When I launch it, I get a magenta rectangle while it checks for the installed python then throws the error.

Here’s the terminal output:

[email protected]:~/src/blender249/install/linux2$ ./blender
Compiled with Python version 2.6.4.
Checking for installed Python… got it!
BKE_icon_get: Internal error, no icon for icon ID: 125
BIF_icon_set_aspect: Internal error, no icon for icon ID: 125
BKE_icon_get: Internal error, no icon for icon ID: 125
BIF_icon_get_width: Internal error, no icon for icon ID: 125
Segmentation fault
[email protected]:~/src/blender249/install/linux2$

Any ideas?

Do you have a custom icon file in your .blender folder?

It might be missing rows of icons (which were added later), making the file too small for Blender to use correctly.

It shouldn’t crash though, you should log a bug in the tracker.

Thanks for the prompt reply. It turns out that I had a faulty .B.blend file. Could it be that having built and ran 2.50 before building 2.49 on this new system caused a problem? The default blend file was created by 2.50. This in turn seemed to cause 2.49 to choke.

Anyway, removing the .B.blend file allowed 2.49 to launch flawlessly.
