Applies to: Softimage XSI 6.x
Fedora Core 5 users: first note first that Fedora Core 5 is not yet officially supported by XSI. If you are using XSI under Fedora Core 5 and you are experiencing crashes in scripted operators and/or in the SDK explorer, please ensure that your glibc package is up-to-date to at least version 2.4-11 and set the environment variable LD_POINTER_GUARD to 0 before running XSI.
To see what version of glibc is installed, have your system administrator run:
# yum list installed | grep glibc
This will produce output such as:
glibc.i686 2.4-11 installed glibc-common.i386 2.4-11 installed glibc-devel.i386 2.4-11 installed glibc-headers.i386 2.4-11 installed glibc-kernheaders.i386 3.0-5.2 installed
As you can see, the version of glibc on this system is up-to-date to version 2.4-11.
To set LD_POINTER_GUARD to 0 in the environment for XSI, run "setenv LD_POINTER_GUARD 0" after sourcing the .xsi file and before running XSI. Sample session:
$ source /usr/Softimage/XSI_6.02/.xsi_6.02 $ setenv LD_POINTER_GUARD 0 $ xsi
