Title: RE: SOFTIMAGE|XSI 6.01 - Linux - ATI - Crash
If I'm not mistaken, the "problem" that you're fixing
by copying over an old version of MainWin over XSI 6.0
is that a certain distribution of Linux is missing
a symbolic link to the OpenGL library.
And the new version of MainWin is using that, instead of
searching for OpenGL libs. That version of the linux
distribution is simply broken, not XSI or MainWin
Alan Jones may know the work around for this..
But basically in /usr/lib/ you're suposed to have something like this..
libGL.so -> libGL.so.x (points to the version of the driver to use)
libGLU.so -> libGLU.so.x.y.z
It's likely you don't have these links, or they point to the
wrong version or wrong place, including some Mesa driver
Check some help from the web..

Hi,
I still can't start XSI 6(.01) FND under Linux32(!) with ATI graphics card.
At that moment when it tries to display the viewports it crashs with a
segmentation fault!
strace output:
http://migaweb.de/test/xsi_601_ati.tar.bz2
http://migaweb.de/test/xsi_601_vesa.tar.bz2
I also need to start it twice! The first time it hangs and no window appears
at all (there are two strace outputs in the files, the first start and the
seconde start).
In the Changelog it only says for 64bit but not for 32bit ATI :( :
UDEV00234621 XSI linux32 version crashes on launch when run on Linux64 OS.
And again,l ike the last time (I don't know how to link to Email from the
mailinglist, but I started the thread at the 13.01.2007 - title "XSI 6 -
Linux - ATI"):
when I copy the old 5.11 mainwin folder over the new folder it works (yes, I
know, it's not supported, unstable,..).
I removed all old files before and updated the SPM. Even tried to start it as
root without success.
Any hints? Or do I need to wait for the next update?
