Some help installing Indigo 64 bit Linux

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

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)

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.

you could just download the deb package from testing, (its in my repo since in using lenny)

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

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

ahh, okay. I didn't know how long the dependence tree was

Thats why I upgraded to lenny some time ago

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.

Wow cool. Didn't know this

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