Error for Li-Vi simulation results on Manjaro (Archlinux)

Sinasta commented 4 years ago

Hello everybody, I am trying to get the vi suite 06 to work under Blender 2.82 on arch linux (manjaro). Could someone explain me what the procedure is? I downloaded the zip file from github and importet it as an adon through blender. Then i changed the bin files n RadFiles/Linux/bin to be executable. I then installed the dependencys in the Python/Linux folder manually through my software manager. I don't know if that is where the problem comes from but some of those packages had a newer version than those in the Python/Linux folder and for some i was not able to install them (kivy-garden). i have a problem when i try to previw a LiVi simulation (there is just a black blender window for some seconds and i get the error that rvu is not able to open a command window) and im not able to visualize a LiVi simulation once its calculated (it tells me about a illu error). I would really apreciate any help. It would already help me to have a list of those dependency packages which have to be installed to make Vi-suite run on archlinux. If someone is willing to help me i could attach the errors that i get in the logs. Thank you very much.

@Sinasta did you manage to have vi-suite06 and blender 2.8 working?

If yes, can you share exactly the steps in detail you followed.

Hello. You're rvu error is most likely due to a recent change in Arch Linux as I had it too. You need to change "8x13" definition of COMFN in the x11.c file in the Radiance source code and change it to "fixed" - at least that worked for me - and then recompile. Or you can just use the rvu I include in the VI-Suite which includes the change. I cannot help with the other errors as 0.6 has not been released yet and you are using a live development repository.
