Hi all,

first post and all, so cheers to all on here.

Now for the gritty stuff

We have gotten our linux beta installer in the mail, but we are somewhat confused as to how to install it (CentOS 6.2 x86_64 in our case)
It doesn't seem to want to install, we get the lib/ld-linux.so.2 bad ELF interpreter error, could it be that VrayScatter is looking for 32 bit libs and it doesn't install on x86_64 systems?

Anyone have experience with this?

Thanks in advance,

Sven

One step closer...should have Googled a bit more

seems glibc.i686 was missing

now i need to fix the error while loading shared libraries: libjpeg.so.8


Sven

Okay, just thought this might be a dead end for us, as we need a 64bit version (if possible with the latest fixes)
Other wise we'll have to look into alternatives for VrayScatter for this job.

Does anyone know if there is a VrayScatter x64 linux render node?

Oh and we're rendering in Vray Standalone by the way (VRfM is just for setting up, which is done on Windows machines)

Sven

as far as I know there is no Maya for Linux 32 bit
our installer was 32 bit but actual plugin is 64

the update with some manual will be relased soon

Hey Anvar,

any status updates on the 1.3.x linux version?

cheers,

Sven

Hello Sven,
New build for Linux is in progress, hope to finish it this week.

Hi guys,

downloaded the plugins, installed fine, there's however a huge problem right now.
We run CentOS 6.2, which uses glibc 2.12, and i see you compiled on Ubuntu 12 against glibc 2.14. (meaning, vrayScatter won't work, not in batch or standalone)
Is it possible to have a version compiled against 2.12? Otherwise we'll have to switch Linux distros to something else (no really a fan of this, seeing everything is running okay-ish now, besides vrayScatter)

thanks in advance

Sven

Okay, another problem we noticed

We installed OpenSuse 12.1, but apparently the installer is compiled against glibc 2.15 (even though we install plugins manually.)

Is there a reason VRayScatter is compiled dynamically against glibc? Doesn't this pose backward compatibility with every other linux install, not just ours?

Sven

Okay, got it to render on an older vray version (version 2.2001) on OpenSuse 12.1
Seems vrayScatter doesn't work with the latest builds (which is a shame, as those fixed a LOT of issues in VRay)

Does icube3d.com do nightly builds that are accessible to customers?

Here's some info on how to compile statically against libgcc (which might make it work on older glibc versions) :

Not sure you guys can do this as there are some rules that apply to this with the LGPL license (see last post in given link)
