Hey guys.
I just wanted to play around with the yafray.
I compiled yafray thru scons.
all fine.

But when i go into blender
Select Yafray as renderer , XML Button [ON],YafrayGI -> Full,Low
Hit F12
i got these error message

skipping unrecognized scene element
warning: expected </scene> tag!
warning: expected </scene> tag!
warning: expected </scene> tag!
skipping unrecognized scene element
Yafray crashed
Could not execute yafray. Is it in path?

when i disable XML Export

i get

Starting scene conversion.
Scene conversion done.
Error loading yafray plugin: blender: undefined symbol: getYafray

I made a link from /usr/bin/yafray to /usr/local/bin/yafaray-xml (the original path)
and i set the Render path in blender to /usr/bin
and nothing worked
I also tested yafray 0.0.9 and 0.1.0 with blender 2.43,6,8
nothing worked

Ehm Btw… i’m workin with slackware(linux) :wink:

I really want to use yafray

Does anyone know a solution for that problem ?

I think that is the problem there, you may be confusing Yafray and Yaf(a)ray. Yaf(a)ray does not use the Blender render button, it has a gui and render button of it’s own, available from the Render menu(User Preferences, not F10), or Scripts -> Render.
Assuming you ran
scons install
and
scons swig
then copied the resulting files and the python scripts to .blender/scripts all should be well.
