It seems that the development team is no longer taking SGI hardware into concideration.

the 'development team' never took SGI into consideration; only Ton did, and only when his machine was an indigo2 max impact. it's been the efforts of one of two people cleaning it up enough to compile on IRIX for nearly the last decade that's made it even possible to run on IRIX anymore.

It's some sort of libiconv problem - I experience the same thing. It looks like whatever version of libiconv it's using (according to Joerg's research above it's using the IRIX supplied version) is statically linked:

Code:

   libpthread.so  =>        /usr/lib32/libpthread.so
   
   libCsup.so  =>   /usr/lib32/libCsup.so
   
   libC.so.2  =>    /usr/lib32/libC.so.2
   
   libGLcore.so  =>         /usr/lib32/libGLcore.so

   libmutex.so  =>  /usr/lib32/libmutex.so
   
   libawareaudio.so  =>     /usr/lib32/libawareaudio.so    delay-load

... so no way to try a different version that I can see.

Has anyone found a solution to this problem ?
Would be great to seriously try this new version on an SGI but I just cant see the filenames when trying to load a scene.....!

Here's the output form the console :

Code:

  Erroriconv_open Erroriconv_open Erroriconv_open Erroriconv_open Erroriconv_open Erroriconv_open Erroriconv_open Erroriconv_open Erroriconv_open Erroriconv_open Erroriconv_open Erroriconv_open Erroriconv_open Erroriconv_open Erroriconv_open Erroriconv_open Erroriconv_open Erroriconv_open Erroriconv_open Erroriconv_open Erroriconv_open Error

It ends up that the Iconv error was actually an error in the Blender coding that has been fixed for the next version (so I am told).

I am working on compiling the RC versions of 2.44. I am having a little issue at the moment, but in the next week or two expect to see the latest version.

Thanks for the continued support!

Here is the RC1 version of Blender 2.44. The file issue and Iconv issue are taken care of in this version (as far as I know).

The official link will be up on Blender.org by tomorrow, but until then you can get it from here:

http://www.jarndyce.org/blender-2.44RC1 ... ps.tar.bz2

I will probably modify the link above once it is available from Blender.org, but I thought I would give everyone a head start.

Any feedback is appreciated!

Thanks,

Charles to the rescue!

Although i still suck at working with Blender (so much to do, so little time), it gives me a fuzzy feeling knowing that Irix-Blender's not at the end of the road yet

Nice! Anyone know if there are any test/sample .blend files for SSS out there yet?

Here are the regression test files:

They have been updated to include a quick and simple SSS test.

Let me know what you find!

Rendering with yafray works with version 2.43......

I see that now there's a version RC2 .....
Will keep you posted...!

Yafray would need to be recompiled against the latest OpenEXR - you probably have the newer libIlmImf.so.5 libraries installed from neko_OpenEXR-1.4.0a.tardist.

I think Charles did the 0.0.9 tardist but I'm sure he's pretty busy right now. In the meantime I've pulled the old libraries from the obsolete neko_OpenEXR-1.2.0a.tardist and stuck them here:

http://www.nekochan.net/wiki/downloads/nekon ... ibs.tar.gz

Code:

  -rwxr-xr-x    1 root     sys        293836 May  8 14:10 libHalf.so.3*
  
  -rwxr-xr-x    1 root     sys        291140 May  8 14:08 libIex.so.3*
  
  -rwxr-xr-x    1 root     sys       2003432 May  8 13:53 libIlmImf.so.3*
  
  -rwxr-xr-x    1 root     sys        115772 May  8 14:06 libImath.so.3*

If you uncompress and place these files inside your libpath someplace (i.e. /usr/nekoware/lib) it should allow the current yafray tardist to run.

Actually I had to recompile once I got the new version of OpenEXR (which is used in Blender), I just forgot to upload the new version of Yafray. Sorry about that (I have been busy).

This should be it:

http://www.nekochan.net/wiki/nekoware/beta/n ... 9a.tardist

Please let me know if it still does not work!

Thanks,
