[Solved]FreeCAD MESA-LOADER: amdgpu_va_get error fixed with LD_PRELOAD

If any one tries to start FreeCAD and get the below errors:

 /tmp/.mount_freecaiw0xef
MESA-LOADER: failed to open iris: /usr/lib/dri/iris_dri.so: undefined symbol: amdgpu_va_get_start_addr (search paths /usr/lib/dri, suffix _dri)

/tmp/.mount_freecaiw0xef/AppRun: line 52: 185160 Aborted                 (core dumped) "./$name" "$@"

I searched the web for similar issues and found the following:
FreeCAD not starting
Apperently the Mesa drivers have changed something in the newer releases but instead of installing the previous version suggests starting FreeCAD with the following prompt.

 LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libdrm_amdgpu.so.1 ./FreeCAD-0.21.2-Linux-x86_64.AppImage 

Hopefully that helps if any one struggles.

Thanks you so much... this mesa problem occurs at many distribs and hit not only freecad.

For peoples running freecad in qemu / vm with graphics from virtio family it works too if pointed to virtio "driver" or whatever thing it is:

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/virtio_gpu_dri.so

or

/usr/lib/dri/virtio_gpu_dri.so

The first path is from debian testing, but should be easily found in any distrib,
the second one is kind of a default one for mesa, i've seen many places where peoples had symlinked it to their distrib standard dri/ path to resolves the mesa problem.

It doesn't look like a mesa problem, but a problem with Appimages .

Best solution : use the freecad package provided by your distro .
