Blender - bugs and stuff
by David Grant · in Artist Corner · 07/25/2004 (11:25 pm) · 9 replies
I downloaded blender 2.33a, installed it, and it would not work.
I then downloaded blender 2.32, installed it, and it worked.
So anyway hours later I get back to what I wanted to do with blender, try to open the app, and the damn thing won't work.
It has the same error as the 2.33a version, 0x000 memory addresses. No other details beyond that.
I am running Python 2.3.4 & yafray0.0.6-2 on win xp pro.
Has anyone else run across this problem? Can someone help me with this? I've looked throuh the bugs on blender.org and resources & forums on garagegames, but I've found nothing so far.

FYI, the box has a GeForce FX5900XT Golden Limited, 256bit, 128MB ram, running dual Viewsonic 17's.
The monitors are setup with one primary, without spanning horizontally, so everything loads in a single window by default, so there's nothing tricky configured.

The console window appears when it runs. I can't look at it at right now cuz someone else is working on that box at the moment. I recall -v and -m switch notes popping up, I think. I'll try it from the console and post results ASAP.FYI, the box has a GeForce FX5900XT Golden Limited, 256bit, 128MB ram, running dual Viewsonic 17's.

I think blender 2.33a and earlier are build with python 2.2, but I don't think this should matter at the point you're running into the crash. 2.34 (CVS builds only now) is built against python 2.3+.
Sorry, that's about all the help I can offer as I don't use blender under windoze.

Make sure your drivers are up to date. If they are check out the forums a elysiun.com and/or blender.org.I think blender 2.33a and earlier are build with python 2.2, but I don't think this should matter at the point you're running into the crash. 2.34 (CVS builds only now) is built against python 2.3+.

Blender kept crashing with same error on my machine so I gave up on it. I got a new video card and re-installed the 2.32 version to see what had changes and it works fine. I think it was video drivers with the old card.

'import site' failed; use -v for traceback
sys_init:warning - no sitedirs added from site module.
The pop up window states:
The memory failure says it could not be 'read'.
I've uninstalled & reinstalled all the software. I've done everything but go through the registry.

Ok I checked it out. The console states:'import site' failed; use -v for traceback

FYI, I uninstalled Blender, disabled hardware anti-aliasing for opengl and directx. Reinstalled, and it now works. I still get the console error, just not the crash and the memory error. I'm still looking into the cause of the console error. I'll let you know if I find anything.

I re-enabled directx anti-aliasing, and found that the menus are appearing much faster, and the program still opens and operates just fine, so far.

I've been playing around with blender and it's pretty nice.I re-enabled directx anti-aliasing, and found that the menus are appearing much faster, and the program still opens and operates just fine, so far.
