Blender not working

[oscar.ostlund@…]

Hi

I have installed blender and can't launch it. Here is the error output?

$ ./blender 
dyld: Library not loaded: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/Python
  Referenced from: /Applications/MacPorts/blender.app/Contents/MacOS/blender
  Reason: no suitable image found.  Did find:
	/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/Python: mach-o, but wrong architecture
	/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/Python: mach-o, but wrong architecture
Trace/BPT trap

Is this because both python 2.4 and 2.5 are installed on my machine ?

Thanks for your help

Oscar

What is the result from running the following commands?

file /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/Python
port provides /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/Python

[raimue (Rainer Müller)]

Blender is a pre-compiled binary for PowerPC only. It also requires manual symlinking of the Python.framework as a note in the Portfile tells. I see no reason why this port installs a binary, it should be changed to download and compile the Blender source.

[oscar.ostlund@…]

$ file /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/Python
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/Python: Mach-O dynamically linked shared library i386
$ port provides /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/Python
/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/Python is provided by: python24

And yes my mac is an intel...

Port deleted in r60150. Just download an official binary from blender.org.

What's wrong with building Blender from source on OS X ?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I'm sure if anyone submitted a port for building blender from source, it would be acceptable. I tried to update blender to build from source a year or two ago, but didn't get very far.

Replying to ryandesign@…:

It might be worth trying again from the newest 2.5 version, which seems to implement a lot of changes
