Hi, This is slightly off topic, but I hope there is someone here, who know the trick...
I use to compile blender myself from the freshest svn checkout I could get ... :) This morning my sync with the outer world presents an update of openal from openal-0* to openal-1*. I did this, fires up blender and ... BUMM!: /usr/local/bin/blender: error while loading shared libraries: libopenal.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Ok...rebzuild blender...fails...API changes (The previous blender installation remains in place) So I removed openal (emerge -C) and installed the previous version. I fired up blender ... BUMM! : /usr/local/bin/blender: error while loading shared libraries: libopenal.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory What the hack is this? Blender -- despite the fact that is not changed at all, wants openal-1* if openal-0* is installed and vice versa... I checked the symlinks to the openal libraries, which were ok. I check the *.la files...ok! How can I convince blender to not to insist on the opposite of what I have installed ??? Is Blender another lifeform on the planet earth just being there to play bad games to Gentoo-users??? ;) Keep hacking! mcc -- Please don't send me any Word- or Powerpoint-Attachments unless it's absolutely neccessary. - Send simply Text.
