Just extract the tar file and launch Blender. It's just that easy. If you have installed Blender through a repository it will still be there, but you'll have the new one where ever you put it. @Atif: You don't need to install it with linux.

I just checked and it is up, can you try again ? Yet, if you are refering to Graphicall, yes, it is down for the moment, but expected to return as soon as possible. @cowdude: which one ? mine ?

It is a dependency of yafray, so I'm sure that's how you missed it. But blender 2.42 wont start without it: blender-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libHalf.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory That's a minor detail, though. Thanks for the great packages! You should consider helping to maintain the official package in Edgy (blender moved from main back to universe since Dapper).

(i just got a amdXP2400 with a atiFireGL4 ! too bad there are no linux drivers, so my p3-800 is gonna be kubuntu-blender) off topic:-- can anyone point me to explanations on how to use dual-monitors with blender? like i saw in the making of Elephants Dream ? i got geforcemx-64mb in agp and matroxMillenniumII-4mb in pci, but even with a commandline startup of blender I only get blackness in the matrox-monitor. So if i install something old like redhat7 i might be able to use the FireGL4, but i'd have an antique OS that doesnt now anything about 3Dnow! right ? Great !

I just got back, got married and moved to my new home. I still don't have Internet at my new home, maybe this week. @ trthing : My compilation is for Athlon64 CPUs running under a 32 Bit system. But I think you can solve the problem installing the 32Bit Python instead of the 64Bit. I will try to create a repository for my next builds, perhaps in a month or so, can't promise anything with BConf so near. Hi guys,
