It's a long time since I made a clean install on a linux system.

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,

2017-09-12 Thread Ahmed Barakat 
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).

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

 that is true.. and yet just an excuse. so many other developers manage it
 quite well to redistribute their software properly - developers who know
 how to do dynamic and/or static linking so that the programs won't break
 outside of exactly defined lab conditions.

 and while we are at it, i don't get why Softimage users after over 10
 years and who knows how many paid upgrades still have to jump through so
 many hoops just for installation and starting. Whats the deal will all the
 sourcing and tcsh-using? And why do we have to use a console to start
 Softimage as a default at all? not sure about you, but i really don't need
 that cozy 90s SGI-feeling anymore... Also the fixation on certain graphics
 cards and drivers is beyond my grasp. It's not as if Softimage is doing

  Mint is my current toy Linux and probably my next serious installation
 

Getting OT here, but may I ask why Mint? I'm just curious, and because I sort of
have to stick with Fedora (because of SI) I didn't try anything else for some
time now. Before that I liked Sabayon pretty much. I didn't really like the
Debian distros (probably just because I wasn't used to it).

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

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.

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.

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.

It's not because it is fragile in Linux but there are so many flavours of Linux

To make sure the installation works 100% on your machine, do check the release

his lib to be in sync with Softimage's.

 Softimage 2014 ignores the windowmanager completely, when

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.

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

 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

drop me a line.

Maybe it depends on the windowanager. I have the same problem when 
running Fluxbox, but it seems to be fine under KDE.

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?
