so I managed to chmod +x the executable but I can’t get it to find libpython1.5.so. also it says to copy it to /boot/home/config/lib but there’s no “lib” folder in config and I can’t make one there
Do you have Python 1.5 installed?
libpython1.5.so is part of the very outdated Python version 1.5,which is not available in the Haiku repository.
It may be difficult to find a download for it since bebits.com does no longer exist.
I didn’t have luck at BeBytes and archive.org Software.
Finding a download of Python 1.5 is the next step to getting Blender 1.60 to work,with newer versions it won’t.
I have it, it’s right next to the executable. It came with it but it can’t find it
Try to start the executable with: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/your/blender/directory executable
You can make one in config/non-packaged/lib.
However a much easier solution is to make a lib/ folder rught next to the executable and just put the library in there
No need to mess with env variables
Are you using BeOS? If you’re using Haiku, why not use the Blender version in the depot?
because I want to try out an older version for something
that worked, thanks
looks like I have a bunch of versions of python / bethon from 0.2.2 to 2.4.2, I will update the bebytes repo.
