Trunk Build of Blender 2.57a r36550 OpenMP for Linux 64bit. Built using Scons on and for Ubuntu 10.10
If you are interested in seeing the changes to the Trunk release, have a look at the commit log here
MAKE SURE YOUR UBUNTU IS UP TO DATE
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
To make this version work, you'll need to install/replace a couple of libs. These come from Ubuntu 10.10. Have tested this end of 10.04 and all worked perfectly, but do this at your own risk!
right click and 'saves link as' for each link
Install them in the order above.. if you have ncurses dev installed remove before using Gdebi via synaptic.
Now inludes Oscurart Tools, Import Sound to anim(allows u to drive scale of an object and bone rotaion etc by sound.. wav), and various other Addons
New Contributed Addons 8th May.
Patches include::
Skin (Zspheres) Multi Axis Grid
Dual Contour Remesh Straight
Dynamic Paint Color Wireframe
Relaxation Spring modifier
Snap to Curve
Double Edge Matte compositor node
YAFARAY 0.1.2 Alpha included.. Hope it works for all.. fingers crossed 
All Boost 1.43 libs, from my own build, are included with this for you to copy to your /usr/libs folder so SLG will run. Make sure you copy only the contents of the libboost1.43 folder, and not the folder itself. Have also included my pylux.so in the Luxrender Addons folder.. Do hope it works for all Nvidia GPU's.
Make sure you have the most current Nvidia drivers installed on your distro. If you are using Mint, you may find you'll need to install Cuda toolkit and libfreeimage3 to make SLG and pylux.so work. I'd suggest installing these anway, even for Ubuntu.
Cuda Toolkit Link ::
http://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-toolkit-32-downloads#Linux
To install, open terminal and execute file as root user..
sudo sh ./cudatoolkit_3.2.16_linux_*.run
it will ask where to install the toolkit, just hit return and all should install without an issue
To install libfreeimage3 head to Synatic or what ever Package Manager your distro uses. Search and install.
Luxrender Engine Presets are also included
Big thanks should go out to all the harding working contributors.Without the likes of Bartek Skorupa, Bartius Crouch, chromoly, Dany Lebel, etoven, EOF-sensei, Fabio Russo, Filiciss, Fish, Jeroen Bakker, Keith Boshoff, khuuyj, LetterRip, Luca Bonavita, mato, Matt Ebb, Matthias Fauconneau, Miika Hämäläinen, Mike Pan, Nico, ousttrue, Raul Fernandez Hernandez, Seminumerical, stiv, Tobias Oelgarte, and Ze10, Blender would be just another opensource 3D program. Cheers guys
enjoy!
I moved the boost143 folder to /usr/lib like you said, but still get the same output in the terminal:
[Lux 2011-May-09 17:46:16] WARNING: Binary pylux module not available! Visit http://www.luxrender.net/ to obtain one for your system.
[Lux 2011-May-09 17:46:16] (ImportError was: libboost_thread.so.1.43.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
What's wrong here?
Cuda installation is just a suggestion, as it does no harm to have the dev kit, and the drivers from the creators of OpenCL installed. it should work out of the box for all Ubuntu distro's with the most 'current drivers'. As it does state in my blurb above 'make sure you have the most current drivers'
http://pkgs.org/ubuntu-10.10/ubuntu-main-amd64/gettext_0.18.1.1-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb.html
./blender: error while loading shared libraries: libgettextlib-0.18.1.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
in the Synaptic Package Manager it does not show up any library called libgettextlib,
How can I solve this problem?
why is the cuda toolkit needed??? Well I installed it but IIRC SLG worked without it. It uses opencl not cuda.
But i recommend to install the newest gfx drivers.
The SLG exporter is not the newest I think. The "PathGpuV2" option in the render panel is missign.
