Hi, I decided that I wanted to compile Blender 2.5 by hand before writing an Ebuild for it to update to the latest SVN. However, every time I try to run it, I get the following error:
Code:
found bundled python: /home/kota/Desktop/install/linux2/.blender/python
Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: can't initialize sys standard streams
ImportError: No module named encodings.utf_8
Aborted


I have looked through BlenderArtists, and apparently, this is a fairly common issue, however the solution of copying over /usr/lib/python3.1 to blender/.blender/python/lib did not seem to do anything for me.

Thanks!

Check your python config in your scons setup.

Code:
BF_PYTHON = '/usr'
BF_PYTHON_LIBPATH = '${BF_PYTHON}/lib'
BF_PYTHON_VERSION = '3.1'
WITH_BF_STATICPYTHON = False
BF_PYTHON_INC = '${BF_PYTHON}/include/python${BF_PYTHON_VERSION}'
BF_PYTHON_BINARY = '${BF_PYTHON}/bin/python${BF_PYTHON_VERSION}'
BF_PYTHON_LIB = 'python${BF_PYTHON_VERSION}' #BF_PYTHON+'/lib/python'+BF_PYTHON_VERSION+'/config/libpython'+BF_PYTHON_VERSION+'.a'
BF_PYTHON_LINKFLAGS = ['-Xlinker', '-export-dynamic']
BF_PYTHON_LIB_STATIC = '${BF_PYTHON}/lib/libpython${BF_PYTHON_VERSION}.a'

kota, did you ever get this working, and what's the status on the ebuild for it? I'd really like to give 2.5 a spin, but I'm thinking waiting till after the Durian changes get merged might be a better plan.

My solution so far has being: Take the binary from blender website, unpack and run it from users own folder example: /home/user/blender25/blender.

Hrm.

Code:
~/blender25/blender-2.5-alpha2-linux-glibc27-i686 $ ./blender
./blender: error while loading shared libraries: libjpeg.so.62: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


I know that that got hosed by a firefox update a couple months back and I had to update quite a lot of packages.

I had same problem, can't recall exactly what package helped out but it may have being: media-libs/jpeg I seem to have 6b-r9 and 8a installed. The 6b probably brings the libjpeg.so.62 into system. ~amd64 here.

Tried to compile blender-2.5 myself (as I can't use the ebuild here). I ran into a problem I could not figure out a cause/cure for yet. Running blender works but all headers are empty and the console contains this (long list cut down to what seems important):
Code:
found bundled python: /opt/progs/blender-2.5/install/linux2/.blender/python
ERROR: bpy_import_main_set() was not called before running python. this is a bug.
(^repeated hundreds of times... then stuff like this multiple times)
search for unknown operator WM_OT_context_set_enum, WM_OT_context_set_enum
RNA_string_set: OperatorProperties.path not found.
RNA_string_set: OperatorProperties.value not found.

Any ideas what could be wrong? Latest SVN.

I got it working!!! :D Blender 2.5 from svn.

I deleted the old install and build folders then removed the .blender/python folder

1. Emerge the latest version of python 3.1 (Do NOT change your default python version with eselect)

2. Clean up the old builds
Code:
blender $ rm ../install/ rm ../build -rfv
blender $ scons -j9
blender $ cd ../install/linux2/


3. Get the anoying error
Code:
linux2 $ ./blender
found bundled python: /home/yourUserName/work/blenderSvnTrunk/install/linux2/.blender/python
Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: can't initialize sys standard streams             
ImportError: No module named encodings.utf_8   


4. After each time you build it with scons remove the .blender/python foulder
Code:
linux2 $ rm .blender/python -rfv
linux2 $ ./blender


Enjoy! :D

There isn't one in an overlay that I'm aware of, but there is an ebuild in bugzilla.
