Description Jason Farrell 2012-06-06 18:59:04 UTC

Cannot enable the LuxRender addon in Blender.

To reproduce:
1) install the packages below
2) run 'blender' from a terminal
3) Go to file > user prefs > addons > render
4) attempt to enable LuxRender by clicking the checkbox, but note the error output in the terminal:

Comment 1 thesourceofx 2012-08-11 18:17:14 UTC

I had this exact same problem and found a solution. I basically had to update everything to the latest release from LuxRender. First, I had to download the latest LuxRender from http://www.luxrender.net/en_GB/standalone#linux and put pylux.so and liblux.so into `/usr/share/blender/2.63/scripts/addons/luxrender/`. That fixes the above error, but it still won't work because luxblend 0.8 has some problems with Blender 2.63, so you also need to replace the scripts in that luxrender/ directory with `luxblend-2.6/src/luxrender/` from the LuxRender tarball. Afterwards LuxRender worked for me in Blender, but I had some problems with materials. Replacing luxrender, luxconsole, and luxmerger from /usr/bin/ with those in the tarball fixed that and now it seems to work perfectly.

Forgot to mention adding the liblux.so that comes with the tarball to /usr/lib64/

Comment 3 Nicolas Chauvet (kwizart) 2012-08-13 21:24:16 UTC

Hi

I think the 1.0 wasn't enought in good shape when I tried to update it too.
It would be valuable if you can suggest a LuxRender.spec update.
(grab it from fedpkg clone -a)

Thx for your report.
BTW I'm looking for co-maintainer for this package.
