Segfaults with Blender 2.44??

Anyone else getting segfaults with Blender 2.44 and Arch64?
They happen when trying to save a file (every time), perhaps other times as well.

I've been using Mrunion's particle-SVN build from AUR and have yet to have a crash. You may want to check it out.

I took skottish's advice and am using the AUR particles version.
If you don't want to use the patched version, try to compile from ABS...I'd like to know how that turns out actually.

Re: Segfaults with Blender 2.44??

I've been having problems with Blender, anytime I try to open a file (so browse to a file) it crashes. It doesn't matter from where in Blender I try to open a file. I assume it is the same segfaults listed  in this thread.

I've tried building these from AUR to fix the problem but get the same error with each one.

blender-svn 12133-1
blender-svn-cloth 20070920-1
blender-svn-particles 20070619-1

my error is:

scons: building terminated because of errors.

Any suggestions?

Thank You!

Edit: by the way, I'm not running Arch64, but this thread seamed to fit the best...  I also tried building as root, just in case it was a permisions problem, but with the same error.

swscale is part of FFMPEG. Do you have that installed?

Thank you, I didn't know what it was part of.  But yes, I have it installed. I reinstalled it again just in case, but same problem. 

Thank you for the suggestion.

I noticed that AUR has some other versions, would you know if it would be better to try one of those?

aur/ffmpeg-amr 20070505-3
    FFMpeg with AMR (NB & WB) codecs from 3gpp.org

aur/ffmpeg-pspvc 0.2.1-1
    Custom version of ffmpeg for making PSP compatible MP4/AVC videos

aur/ffmpeg-svn 9141-1
    FFMpeg is a complete and free Internet live audio and video broadcasting solution for Linux/Unix

aur/ffmpeg2theora 0.19-1
    ffmpeg2theora can convert any file that ffmpeg can decode to theora

aur/ffmpegthumbnailer 1.1.3-1
    Lightweight video thumbnailer that can be used by file managers.

Re: Segfaults with Blender 2.44??

It probably won't work. Those builds will not change the core FFMPEG libraries. Swscaler isn't on by default in FFMPEG anyway, but there are some files that identify it in the package. I though it was worth asking though.

One thing: does yaourt know to run versionpkg on subversion packages?

To be honest, I just started using yaourt this week, I've been very impressed.  I tried each of the three blender packages from AUR using yaourt, but then re-downloaded the tar file by hand and tried again using makepkg, but same error.

I didn't have verionpkg installed, so yaourt couldn't have used it. I tried it again now with versionpkg and it did checkout the newer revision number.

It just finished building, no error building the package!   Great job pointing me in the right direction!

It also fixed the problems I had with opening files, now I can actually use it.

Thanks again!!!
