 |
|
I downloaded Blender 2.5 binary ( not in portage yet.), unzipped it into a folder, but now it won't execute from Gentoo. ( it does from the other linux)
Permissions are set to allow any to execute, "chmod -x blender" didn't help.
What am I missing.?

Thanks, but chmod +x blender didn't help.
If I try to run it from terminal, it fails to open with the message " segmentation fault".
It's odd that it still works from the other os.

strace it
emerge strace if you don't have it already
then assuming you've already made the file executable (which you have)
| Code: |
strace /path/to/binary |
look for anything that mentions permission denied, or ENOENT
It could be the case that your other linux system has things laid out in a way this app expects, whereas gentoo does not
strace should help you hunt it down

Strace looks like a nice tool. Thanks.

So it is a permissions problem. I even tried re-downloading and unpacking it as normal user, I tried changing owner, and I tried running is as root. No luck.
I suppose I could put in a suggestion to get this version of Blender added to portage. It is labeled as an alpha ( because the windoze version is still missing some functions), but its fairly stable.
I'll also learn to use 'ln' to make a link.
