Blender 4.0.1 (-2/-3) can't find libsycl.so.6

When I start blender, since 4.0.1 version (including last one 4.0.1-3), I've the following error in the terminal:

$ blender
blender: error while loading shared libraries: libsycl.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Can't find the package owning this library. Does anyone has a clue?

https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x8 … time-libs/

Is that a blender package from the AUR?

No, this is the default blender package:

pacman -Ss ^blender$
extra/blender 17:4.0.1-3 [installé]
    A fully integrated 3D graphics creation suite

Looks like this lib is already here, but not in the standard path:

/opt/intel/oneapi/compiler/2023.2.0/linux/lib/libsycl.so.6

And so I understand the problem, on my system, /opt is a link to another partition, but some package, tend to remove the link and create a directory instead, so the lib became inaccessible.

Re: Blender 4.0.1 (-2/-3) can't find libsycl.so.6

Even after reinstalling it, so it's now in the pass, and this path is set in

/etc/ld.so.conf.d/intel-oneapi-compiler-dpcpp-cpp-runtime-libs.conf

as

/opt/intel/oneapi/compiler/latest/linux/lib

, but the path is actually

/opt/intel/oneapi/compiler/2023.2.0/linux/lib/

and there is no symbolic link added, even after reinstalling this lib.

Re: Blender 4.0.1 (-2/-3) can't find libsycl.so.6

after rsyncing all /opt in the other fs removing the local one and adding a symlink again, it now can be launched, but crash, there are already bug reports about it, so I can consider this specific problem is solved.

I still wonder why for, some AUR package installation override the symbolic link, when there is /opt/... in the path. Is this related to a specific right to the directory or an option to add to makepkg.conf, or at install time?

Re: Blender 4.0.1 (-2/-3) can't find libsycl.so.6

Hello! I recently installed intel-oneapi-basekit and now I have the same issue. Even when I try running blender in a shell after running source /opt/intel/oneapi/setvars.sh it fails. I think this is because the .so has been replaced with libsycl.so.7:

[jacob@jacobarch ~]$ sudo find /opt -name libsycl.so.*
/opt/intel/oneapi/compiler/2024.0/lib/libsycl.so.7.0.0
/opt/intel/oneapi/compiler/2024.0/lib/libsycl.so.7.0.0-gdb.py
/opt/intel/oneapi/compiler/2024.0/lib/libsycl.so.7
/opt/intel/oneapi/2024.0/lib/libsycl.so.7.0.0
/opt/intel/oneapi/2024.0/lib/libsycl.so.7.0.0-gdb.py
/opt/intel/oneapi/2024.0/lib/libsycl.so.7
[jacob@jacobarch ~]$

Re: Blender 4.0.1 (-2/-3) can't find libsycl.so.6

I think the issue is being caused by issues with Intel's OneAPI base toolkit, I fixed the problem by removing blender, then removing intel-oneapi-basekit-2024.0.0.49564-2 (the OneAPI developer toolkit thing), and then installing blender again which installed:

Packages (5) intel-oneapi-common-2023.2.0-1
             intel-oneapi-compiler-dpcpp-cpp-runtime-libs-2023.2.0-1
             intel-oneapi-compiler-shared-runtime-libs-2023.2.0-1
             intel-oneapi-tbb-2021.10.0-3  blender-17:4.0.2-8

Unfortunately this means I no longer have the Intel OneAPI base toolkit... Any ideas?

Re: Blender 4.0.1 (-2/-3) can't find libsycl.so.6

I dont know if it's the right way to fix it, but it seems that copy the needed libs to /lib fix this issue:

sudo cp /opt/intel/oneapi/compiler/2024.0/lib/libsycl.so.6 /lib
sudo cp /opt/intel/oneapi/advisor/2024.0/lib64/libsvml.so /lib
sudo cp /opt/intel/oneapi/advisor/2024.0/lib64/libring.so /lib
sudo cp /opt/intel/oneapi/advisor/2024.0/lib64/libimf.so /lib
sudo cp /opt/intel/oneapi/advisor/2024.0/lib64/libintlc.so.5 /lib

No, that is not even close to the right way. It's a terrible way, do NOT do that.

I am having the same problem... for months. Are the Arch developers working on fixing this? Instead of this kind of forum, is there something like a GitHub issue list where you can see the progress?

Download Blender directly from their website; that version works. The Blender in Arch's repository also doesn't support Embree on GPU (hardware raytracing), which the website version supports. The only plus side of using the repository version is that I don't have to manually upgrade it, but if this kind of problems keep happening, I would just switch to the website version and won't use the repository version.

Has anyone affected opened an issue on the Arch gitlab instance so the package maintainer becomes aware of the issue?
