Some help installing Indigo 64 bit Linux

Post by pei_tech » Wed Feb 11, 2009 6:54 am

Hello,
Could I get some help/info on installing Indigo on Linux. We have a dual opteron server that I would like to have run our renderings...currently smp 64 bit Debian Etch.

I have downloaded the latest stable 64 bit tar, but I don't see any make files, etc. What is the procedure for installing/running on linux? Does it still require wine?

Any help would be wonderfully appreciated.

make files are only for compiling :P indigo is binary releases only!

sudo apt-get install libwxgtk2.8-0

run that command to make sure you have wxGTK, then just run the binary (you may need to change permissions on the file)
Yes i know, my spelling sucks

Thanks,
Kind of figured that was the case....Debian Etch only has wxGTK2.6 available as a package...will try to get it from source. Thank you for the reply.

Yes, that is true...was hoping for a quicker fix than to do a dist-upgrade, but I bit the bullet and started the process....thanks again.

O.o, you could have just downloaded that one deb file and any it depended on, but okay - whatever works :o

You are correct, but what was coming back as dependencies, etc, was so extensive, I decided to just do a dist-upgrade.

Thats why I upgraded to lenny some time ago :D
Check the dependencies for just the cpp version needed by wx widgets, then you get an idea of the total number of packages ;)

Linux newbie here.

When I try to run indigo on a Linux machine I get the message:
error while loading shared libraries: libwx_gtk2u_richtext-2.8.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I understand I need to do something like: sudo apt-get install libwxgtk2.8-0 to get indigo runing. The problem is I don't have a root account on the Linux machine I'd like to run indigo on, and so I can't install libwxgtk2.8-0 directly. Is their some other way I can get indigo running without using apt-get?

I've been looking at this a bit more, and it seems some librarys can be installed without root. For example: http://winter.eecs.umich.edu/soarwiki/D ... ermissions

The important point seems to be modifying the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LD_RUN_PATH variables. Can someone who knows about this stuff have a quick look? Cheers.

So do you think it will be possible to install libwxgtk2.8-0 without root and get indigo running?
