Material editor (Indigo v2.2.4) doesn't work on 64-bit linux

[namco]

This is all I get:

Bus error

Also, exporting to Indigo using Blendigo under linux throws an error too (I've posted that bug in relevant threads).

So, do you guys have any future plans on ever fixing all these errors? They have been ignored for like months now. How about testing the programs before you put it up for downloading? I mean seriously, either that, or at least stop claiming linux support.

Your problems with the material editor should be addressed to the relevant indigo release thread in the 'News and Announcements' forum.

Blendigo has been faling behind with support for a little while, and I've only just picked up the reins. I will do some extensive linux testing shortly.

In the mean time, can you post here (or PM me) a simple scene that causes the igmesh error so that I can invesigate the cause?

BTW, which versions of indigo and blendigo are you currently trying to use ?

I'm sorry. You are of course right.

Good to hear.

Actually, all scenes fail. Just make a scene with a cube.

BTW, which versions of indigo and blendigo are you currently trying to use ?

The newest available (to my knowledge) linux version v2.2.4, and blendigo Blendigo 2.2.8. I've tried too many combinations to remember, they all failed. And by looking through the forums, I'm not the only one experiencing this. Not even the the blendigo and indigo versions on the download section seems to work together.

This appears to be a 64-bit compatibility problem. If you have access to a 32-bit system I suggest you use that for now while we work on a fix.

(obviously not right).

I'm afraid I don't, but I don't mind waiting at all. I'm just glad knowing that this is actually being looked into now. Thank you.

This igmesh issue is now fixed in our SVN. Expect a maintenance release shortly.
