These are libs from the last Fedora version that ran out of the box for me (14
or 16? I'm on 26 now). If these don't work for you, you might want to try
libs from centos6.
This should get SI up and running.
 
good luck,
Thomas

Re: Soft 2014 in Linux is "always-on-top"?

Hi Christoph
I know it's an ancient thread but I am trying to run Softimage on Centos 7
got the same /usr/lib64/libXext.so.6: undefined symbol: _XGetRequest error
and I followed your recommendation
" Fortunately the solution to your problem is fairly simple:

mv 
/usr/Softimage/Softimage_2014_SP2/Application/mainwin/mw/lib-amd64_linux/X11/libX11.so.6
/usr/Softimage/Softimage_2014_SP2/Application/mainwin/mw/lib
-amd64_linux/X11/~libX11.so.6"

but unfortunately now I get this error
"/usr/Softimage/Softimage_2015/Application/bin/XSI.bin: symbol lookup
error: /usr/lib64/libX11.so.6: undefined symbol: xcb_wait_for_reply64"

do you know what might be the problem I googled it with no luck

Thanks

Since it was annoying me so much -> take the mainwin folder from 2013
Starts up just fine and I can use fluxbox again (instead of KDE where 
the problem didn't occur).

To be honest there is very little technical reason. Linux Mint is one of those 
distributions that feels right. I like how they are doing things. I use it at 
both work and home and its rare for me to feel so comfortable with a linux 
distribution.

It's not quite as simple as linking dynamically vs statically. The fact soft is 
still tied to a GCC "fixed" by mainwin (or was last I checked) isn't exactly 
helping matters either. That said shell requirements are a non issue honestly, 
the issues are others and on a completely different scale.
It's not all roses for some other software either, but yeah soft tends to be 
the pickier of the lot

It's not quite as simple as linking dynamically vs statically. The fact
soft is still tied to a GCC "fixed" by mainwin (or was last I checked)
isn't exactly helping matters either. That said shell requirements are a
non issue honestly, the issues are others and on a completely different
scale.

Fortunately the solution to your problem is fairly simple:

mv 
/usr/Softimage/Softimage_2014_SP2/Application/mainwin/mw/lib-amd64_linux/X11/libX11.so.6 
/usr/Softimage/Softimage_2014_SP2/Application/mainwin/mw/lib-amd64_linux/X11/~libX11.so.6

2013-07-27 Thread Thomas Volkmann 
/etc/hosts looks fine I think... try to remove/rename libX11.so.6 from 
the Application/bin folder, so that it uses the one on your system. Not 
sure about that though. Otherwise I can investigate further tomorrow maybe

Here you go: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/lyc7kcka86u8pw5/jHwE0dDWG0

Just copy these to Application/bin

Re: Soft 2014 in Linux is "always-on-top"?

2013-07-27 Thread Chris Chia 
It's not because it is fragile in Linux but there are so many flavours of Linux 
and the system lib versions differ in these flavours.

To make sure the installation works 100% on your machine, do check the release 
note for the list of supported OSes. Else, one would probably have to customise 
his lib to be in sync with Softimage's.


Cheers,
Chris

Re: Soft 2014 in Linux is "always-on-top"?

2013-07-27 Thread Christoph Muetze 

Hi Sylvain,

...i came across the same problem. Softimage seems to becoming more and 
more fragile on the Linux side of things, an install becomes harder with 
every release :/


Fortunately the solution to your problem is fairly simple:

mv 
/usr/Softimage/Softimage_2014_SP2/Application/mainwin/mw/lib-amd64_linux/X11/libX11.so.6 
/usr/Softimage/Softimage_2014_SP2/Application/mainwin/mw/lib-amd64_linux/X11/~libX11.so.6


Cheers,
Chris

2013-07-27 Thread Thomas Volkmann 

Hi Sylvain,

I'm not at my machine right now, but I think the only thing you need to 
do is copy some libraries from an older Fedora version(F14 probably) and 
put them into ...Application/bin/.
It's definitely libXext.so.6 and two others I think starting with libX. 
I can tell you later exactly and send you the files.


cheers,

Re: Soft 2014 in Linux is "always-on-top"?

2013-07-26 Thread Sylvain Lebeau 

Hi Ognjen ...

yes you are right and i noticed that pretty quickly when a yum update 
didnt allow me to boot anymore. Fedora is bleeding edge but updates 
are dangerous like you just said.


To encompass this, we've synced the fedora repo onto our own server here 
and removed the offical fedore repo from the 
/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo config file. Adding only our own 
local repository.


We have a production repo that dont sync with fedora and an evaluation 
repo that does sync. So we use a test machine to see the impact of the 
update before deplyoing on the production repo.


We are using Pulp to make this possible.
http://www.pulpproject.org/

it is a bit of a pain at the beginning but a bless afterward.

:-) ... now i just need to make Softimage launch. gr

Ignore my previous

Probably... we are running windows here, but at home I'm on linux. And if I find
the time I will setup my workstation for dualboot, too. Since we are a rather
small studio it's no big deal.

Hi,

i can relate, i'm experiencing exactly the same problem :(

Softimage 2014 ignores the windowmanager completely, when maximized it goes 
beyond the usual borders (almost like fullscreen), it doesn't show up in 
taskbar either and when minimized then it becomes a little icon-like square 
that is floating on top of every other application or window. Also it stays 
fixed to the screen, no matter what workspace i'm on. So switching spaces 
always drags Softimage with, no matter what you do...

The same behaviour is true for the mainwin control app after the update... it's 
the usual suspect for this, i guess - but it is still noteworthy imho, 
especially since Softimage 2013 still behaves a 100% correctly on the same 
machine... (So do Mudbox 2014 and Maya 2014)..

If any of the Developers is up for troubleshooting i'm more than willing to 
step in and help out as much as i can on my side... just drop me a line.

Cheers,

Hadn't noticed you guys referred specifically to 2014. Ignore my previous
post, we don't use 2014 yet, only 12 and 13.

I had that issue once in a while but wasn't consistent between working
sessions. Another one I had was the inability to resize the XSI window.
Reopening XSI would fix that though.
That thing disappeared with the new qfe.

Maybe just make sure of the usual thing.. 'always on top' isn't checked,
tried resetting your prefs or trash the mainwin folder if you haven't done
that already?
