Hi galls and guys, I saw that there are no up to date instuctions for getting Blender 2.56 running on Fedora, not even on Blender wiki so I wrote up this blog post: http://bit.ly/gLQgFS or long version: http://kernelreloaded.blog385.com/index.php/archives/blender-2-56-on-fedora-...
I would like to ask you to try out these instructions and post any feedback that you have, especially if there are some errors in instructions.
Also if there are some Blender artists in Fedora design team please test if all Blender functions work correctly.
I saw some Blender 2.56 packages in Koji for F15, does anybody know if Blender 2.56 will ship with Fedora 15?
I talked with few Blender artists that I know and asked them which version of Blender they used. They all replied that they used 2.56 and not 2.49. They all claim that Blender 2.56 is rock solid on both OSX and Windows, I don't know Blender artists that use Linux :(
So if Blender 2.56 turns out to be stable could it be made to replace aging 2.45 in Fedora 14 and 15?
Cheers, Valent.

Whatever is in Koji will usually end up in the appropriate release.

Why do you ask here? You should ask the Blender maintainer

Hoped that there are some users who know something more about Blender in Fedora, my next step was contacting Blender maintainer.

I followed your instructions but the resulting binary doesn't work.

I'll check my blog for any issues...
I'll test it right now on clean Fedora 14. Could be I had some package preinstalled on my system and ommited it from dependencies in instructions.

Hi Mairin, I checked the instuctions so that I made a pristine enviroment via Fedora 14 Live USB with persistant memory. I installed all dependencies on this clean system (but without any updates since Fedora 14 release), then downloaded Blender source files and tried to compile and run it.
I found only two missing dependencies, gettext and gettext-devel. After those dependencies were installed Blender compiled without errors and starts ok.
I get this message when I start Blender:
$ ./blender Info: Config directory with "startup.blend" file not found. found bundled python: /home/liveuser/blender-build/install/linux2/2.56/python
Are you running Fedora 14? Have you made some tweaks to your system?
Hope this helps.
Valent.
Mairin did you manage to get Blender running?
Cheers, Valent.

I've used Blender on Fedora before and got it working. (For a demo with Condor - I'm no Blender expert) Let me know if there is something I can help with.

No, were there some additional instructions for me to try? Nothing has changed.

So I deleted everything, downloaded fresh using your tutorial. I already had gettext and gettext-devel. Same error:

I've justed grabed blender-2.56a from [1], it work well on f14 x86_64, maybe you're using Python3 (instead of 2.7)

Probably Python 3 is the culprit, but I guess you can somehow specify Blender to use Python 2.7, right? But I don't know how :( Maybe somebody else can help with this?
