Can't Install 2.2.1 on Ubuntu 9.04

Post by Dreamlens » Sat Oct 17, 2009 5:23 am

I am trying to install Blendigo 2.2.1 on Ubuntu 9.04 64, but when I run the install.sh I get this:

---------

Blendigo Installer for Linux.


Sorry, we have a problem, we could not find the "/root/.blender/scripts" directory on your system. Create
this directory and then re-run this installer.

Installation terminated.

-----------

What I really want is for the script to look in my home directory, not the root home directory. I have a .blender directory in my home folder.

What should I do?

You should run it as your current user - not with sudo. We don't require sudo to install Blendigo. :)

I hope the script works for you - I enjoyed writing that. Go go bash-fu!

Will you buy a licence if it works for you?

That did the trick, so it is installed now. However, I am getting the following message now after I click the "Render" button, and the Indigo window opens:

Error: SceneLoaderExcep: CSModelLoaderExcep: ModelFormatDecoderExcep for model '/tmp/Plane_001_0.igmesh': Invalid format version. (In element 'mesh', around line 141, column 5)

After that I see a status message that says, "Rendering | Building Scene...", but after 10 minutes or so I see nothing but black. I have an emitting material, and I have a very simple scene in Blender that I am trying out. Preview renders are working fine.

Hmm.

Hey Dreamlens,

You should install http://www.indigorenderer.com/dist/beta ... 2.4.tar.gz on your system - that should take care of the igmesh incompatibility. :)

I installed the newer version of Indigo (2.2.4) and ran the Blendigo installer (2.2.1) shell script again, updating the path to Indigo. Indigo works by itself with the included test scenes, but I am getting the same error message I was before when I try to render a scene from Blender.

Error: SceneLoaderExcep: CSModelLoaderExcep: ModelFormatDecoderExcep for model '/tmp/Plane_001_0.igmesh': Invalid format version. (In element 'mesh', around line 151, column 5)

This is with Blender 2.49b 64-bit version.

Okay - I'll look into this next week and update this thread. Sorry for the problems.

Was this ever fixed, or just ignored? I still get an error very much like the one Dreamlens gets

Code: Select all

if [ "$(id -u)" == "0" ]; then
   echo "This script should not be run as root, please install as a normal user"
   exit 1
fi
Yes i know, my spelling sucks

You should install the latest blendigo and the latest indigo, we'll be releasing 2.2 stable next week - thus the download links will point to the latest versions that work well.

The mesh problem is when you have Indigo 2.0 and Blendigo 2.2 :)

Actually, I think the mesh problem reported above was due to blendigo exporting 64bit 'longs' instead of 'ints' in the binary mesh data - I fixed the bug recently anyway and it will work in the next stable release.
