Bug 150279 – Blender 2.42a doesn't install scripts

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Wiebe Cazemier 2006-10-06 06:58:49 UTC]

When installing Blender 2.42a, there are no scripts. The scripts should usually be installed in /usr/lib/blender/scripts, but there is nothing. These are all the files installed:

same problem here with blender 2.42a.

Missing import/export 3ds functionality due to no installation of plugins..

[Comment 2 Wiebe Cazemier 2006-10-23 08:26:06 UTC]

I'm missing the export UV face layout functionality, which prevents me to continue my work. This quite a critical bug, in my opinion at least.

[Comment 3 Luca Barbato 2006-10-23 10:02:34 UTC]

try configuring your paths...

[Comment 4 Wiebe Cazemier 2006-10-23 10:10:05 UTC]

scriptpath is setup properly. Look at my first post, the scripts are not installed.

[Comment 5 Luca Barbato 2006-10-23 10:38:51 UTC]

 /usr/share/blender/scripts contains the scripts here, 

[ebuild   R   ] media-gfx/blender-2.42a  USE="ffmpeg iconv jpeg nls openal png sdl -blender-game -openexr"

[Comment 6 Wiebe Cazemier 2006-10-23 11:28:55 UTC]

It was the nls useflag. I guess NLS has to be non-optional then, for Blender.

I still have to make a symlink in ~/.blender BTW:

scripts -> /usr/share/blender/scripts/

or config the python script path to point to that path, but I guess this is Blender's fault.

[Comment 7 Luca Barbato 2006-10-23 11:44:02 UTC]

I fixed that part, thanks for the report.
