Hello,
I have gave it a trial to run blender in linux, but so far it tells me that it does not know the command blender under the terminal. I know it has something to do
with the fact that I have to put it in some directory but I don’t know which one and
maybe blender has to know the path of python, on which my machine it is 2.5
If anybody has a good solution to this, thank you in advance.
Regards,
B.
Hi what linux distro are you using?
in ubuntu just type :
sudo apt-get install blender
and it will take care of everything for you 
Hello,
I am using OpenSuse, so I just had downloaded the x86_64 package and it was not recognized by my system, but I have python. The command apt-get is also not
recognized.
But as nothing seems impossible I think I will go on with OpenSuse.
Thank you in advance for any HLP.
Regards,
Bart
Hello
if I remember well, to install soft packages in Suse, you must use YAST package manager ( rpm)
Apt-get it’s for Debian based distibutions ( deb)
Probably the new 2.44 isn’t yet in the Suse
repositories?!
You can install it by hand, it’s quite easy
Just download Blender from the Blender site, uncompress it, open a terminal in
the new blender directory and type ./blender
It should work
Bye
Hello,
I have the following error while typing the command ./blender in the terminal;
./blender: error while loading shared libraries: libpython2.4.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
What could be wrong with this, is the installation of python not correct or blender,
I have installed it in the home directory under the name; /blender-2.44/
Thanks for any reply.

type:
python --version
to find out what version of python your system thinks you are running
The version of python is 2.5, maybe blender works with 2.4
B.
blender looks for libpython2.4. 2.4 is the version.
Download the Python 2.5 version then… :rolleyes:
http://download.blender.org/release/Blender2.44/blender-2.44-linux-glibc236-py25-x86_64.tar.bz2
Opening your eyes when downloading software sometimes helps…
As root type:
ln -s /usr/lib/libpython2.5.so.1.0 /usr/lib/libpython2.4.so.1.0
edit: or do what Lynx3d says
Ouch…you better not try that.
Symlinking libraries is always a bad idea. This advice can cause problems with anything that has
Python as a dependency. For instance, on my machine these are all linked directly to Python:
aurbuild boost mtink namcap openoffice-base pycairo pygobject python-eyed3
python-numeric pyxml dbus-python pyogg pyvorbis python-elementtree mutagen
python-pysqlite pyorbit gnome-python koffice scribus scons blender-svn-particles
Hello, I have done an install from Yast which did not caused any problems though an update could be possible for some reason, or making plugins for film.
R.
