Hey Sean,
thanks for jumping in and helping out! this actually helped a lot to
narrow the problem down..
if i try what you suggested then soft starts up (very slowly) and gets
past the splashscreen, opens the netview and then segfaults the moment
the ogl-viewports are drawn.
disabling the ogl-viewports (via this description ->
http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/dl/item?siteID=123112&id=14691242&linkID=12544120)
lets me fully start softimage, it takes ages and i can't do a thing
without ogl-views, but there are no segfaults and no freezing.. so
that's a partial success, i guess :)
interestingly enough, if if just disable the the ogl-viewports without
removing the x11-patch then soft freezes up right after the splashscreen
again..
here is the end of the segfault-strace, i can provide the full log
(which is over 17megs) if necessary...

Are you still stuck at the problem where once you start XSI it shows the splashscreen and
then hangs? If so then you can try removing the X11 patch by editing the "
${MWHOME}/scripts/.mwenv" file and looking for the x11patch line. There you should
see where it checks for various fedora versions and sets the x11patch for fc14. You
could temporarily comment that line (should be line 17) and then source the .xsi??? file
again. This will remove that X11 patch folder from your LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Now see if XSI
starts up correctly.
Note: without this patch you may notice viewport performance problems. So this
should not be used as a permanent solution to your problem.

i'm wondering, has anyone ever tried running the license server on the same
fedora14-machine as softimage? could this possibly be problem?

thanks steven,
I had the same problem here and this is really something that makes
me puke. If you state that the only supported distro of linux is
Fedora14 and when you first run your setup it returns with an error,
then something is really wrong with your testing on the supported platform.
I mean, if you guys are about to merge every damn aspect of softimage
with the autodesk doctrine, then I would like to see some stuff done
on the linux side of things. What do you think?
Cheers

I get the same error here, and I can run Softimage 2013.
Here's a recipe for setting up Softimage on CentOS:

Here's a Fedora recipe posted by another user:
Stefan Andersson wrote an install-guide for FC13 (see below) that
can be used for FC14 (newer versions of Flash and NVidia available probably).
Most
important is the Nouveau and SeLinux section. I guess you don't need
the update-stuff if you just want a quick test.
Also important for FC14:

Subject: Softimage and Fedora14 - help please!
Hi everyone,
I recently upgraded my Softimage Network license to the Maya
Entertainment Creation Suite Premium - mainly for finally being able
to switch over to Linux (i had used mudbox2009 before, which was
windows-only).
First let me say: Maya2013 and Mudbox2013 install and work _fine_.
On every (rpm based-)System i tried them on.
(though i wish i didn't have to google up on how to install these
programs (for real). because the documentation provided by autodesk
is really "limited". things like "use tcsh to install" and "you will
need redhat-lsb" are spread all over their site (IF they are there
at all and not buried in some user-forums somewhere else...)
My problem is Softimage2013, the one tool i truly need and can't get
to work under linux. I tried Fedora14, Centos, even unsupported
Distros like Debian. I tried it with different machines, several
different Geforces& Quadros, different Kernelversions and Nvidia
drivers (recommended and unrecommended ones). i have no idea what is wrong.
Here is what happens:
When i install softimage (using tcsh or csh) it installs supposedly
correctly but spits out a "setup did not complete sucessfully" in the end.
A look at the logfile reveals that cmdreg failed to complete the
XSICOMDLLs list (see
http://www.pixelz.de/stuff/softimage2013_fedora_install-log.txt).
So i tried to manually run it with cmdreg -f
"Application/bin/XSICOMDLLs.lst after sourcing .xsi_2013, here is
the
result: http://www.pixelz.de/stuff/cmdreg_xsicommdlls-lst.txt<- it
complains it can't load the custom display host (the error warning
looks more like a windows error, though - so i'm not sure how much
this actually reveals..).
Next i ldd'ed the customdisplayhost.so manually to see what happens.
this is the log:
http://www.pixelz.de/stuff/ldd-libcustomdisplayhost-so.txt<-
everything looks fine as far as i can tell..
Starting Softimage shows the splashscreen, the gui is drawn
partially and then the program hangs forever.
Here is the strace (1.3mb, might take a while to load):
http://www.pixelz.de/stuff/strace_soft2013_fed14_hangs_forever_after
_ splashscreen_appears.txt The last line is a "futex(0x2cd65b0,
FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE, 2, NULL"
This happened with every Softimage version i tried to install and
start so far (2011-2013) on every machine i have (several desktops
and two
laptops)
The system i used to do this latest testrun and generated the above
mentioned Logfiles: i7quad, 6gigs ram, Kernel Linux
2.6.35.14-106.fc14_x86_64, Gnome 2.32.0, Geforce GT 330M - nividia
driver 280.13
Any help on how to further investigate or solve this problem is
highly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
cheers!
Chris
