Blender fails to start on F44

Ask Fedora

When I try running blender on the terminal I get the following output:

blender: symbol lookup error: /lib64/libusd_ms.so.0.26.3: undefined symbol: _ZTIN17MaterialX_v1_39_47ElementE

After I dig a bit on the web I found out that this same issue happened to Arch users here.
It looks like the dependency materialx is the culprit, just like they reported.

I ran sudo dnf downgrade materialx and it fixed, blender starts normally.
I’m wondering if anyone else has this issue, or if its just with my machine?

Thanks.

This probably should be reported as a bug for either blender or materialx. It seems blender may not be compatible with the updated version of materialx.

Same problem here.

For those looking for a temporary workaround:

dnf install materialx-devel
dnf downgrade materialx-devel
