So,
STATUS:
Gotten to the point where I can get xsi to report
"Softimage/Softimage_2011> Application/bin/xsi
/usr/Softimage/Softimage_2011/Application/bin/XSI.bin: symbol lookup
error: /usr/Softimage/Softimage_2011/Application/bin/libXext.so.6:
undefined symbol: _XGetRequest"
Done some research on this and it seems that it is some sort of a bug
that was repaired in xorg. There are fixes, it seems but I don't
understand it well enough to implement them or they don't work for me,
or I am not doing things in the right order.
this is after
tcsh
cd /usr/Sofitmage/Sofitmage_2011/
source .xsi_2011
Have a good day,
