Ah yes, thanks for that reminder.
I understand. I had a re-read of the wiki, and it seems that those dependencies are optional https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PKGBUILD#depends I was told off for including them in another package some time ago, which is why I was hesitant now. But it's good to get a second opinion.
This is just so all link dependencies are listed.
Please remove libidn and libicu50 these are not needed anymore.
Thank you for flagging the update and the dependency list, micwoj92. I wouldn't expect packages like glibc to be listed. Would you mind elaborating please?
Deps list should be: dbus fontconfig freetype2 gcc-libs glib2 glibc krb5 libdrm libglvnd libice libsm libx11 libxcb libxcomposite libxext libxkbcommon libxkbcommon-x11 wayland xcb-util-image xcb-util-keysyms xcb-util-renderutil xcb-util-wm zlib zstd
@meepzh my pleasure. I have had a similar issue in Windows that I was never really able to flush out because there is no standard output. I worked with Pixar on it and I was not able to pinpoint it there, even with their help. Linux, was relatively easy, as it should be!
Now we are waiting to hear back from Autodesk on why their maya 2025 rpm package does not launch single sign on outside of redhat (I've read that it doesn't launch even in rocky) I suspect there is some weird library they use that auto-detects environment and then asks to launch a browser. If it doesn't detect redhat, it asks for Microsoft edge. Once they fix that and launches in ubuntu, rocky, etc, I think you will be able to update renderman for maya.
Sorry for the long delays, and thank you for the detailed error information @mac666er! Those details were really helpful narrowing down the issue to renderman-pro-server, where I've symlinked ncurses and added numactl as a dependency. Much appreciated!
I was able to install renderman and renderman for maya 26.2 in arch linux with the redhat version 9 installers for maya 2024.
However, XPU on screen renders would not work. They would error out with:
D02001 {WARNING} TgPathDLOpen: Bad DSO found: /opt/pixar/RenderManProServer-26.2/lib/libxpu.so (libncurses.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) (System Error: No such file or directory)
with some digging, this fixed the issue:
cd /usr/lib
ln -s libncurses++w.so libncurses.so.6
Hopefully you find this post helpful!
If you have rpm-tools installed, then this package will install the downloaded rpms for you.
@Alkaris, the rpm should go in your cloned copy of the AUR package repository before you makepkg it. Does that work for you or are there more specifics?
Not sure where to put the RPM package since it always fails when I put it into the install directory.
