Trying to install mochaproFL-5.0.0-12190.x86_64.rpm under CentOS 7.2 fails with multiple dependencies. CentOS 7.2 is quickly becoming the standard linux install, and all Flame machines will be required to run this in less than a year.
We have seen this problem before. The missing packages are available for CentOS 6 and most install cleanly on 7. You likely need the following packages:
The first two packages installed cleanly for us on a fresh install of CentOS7. The last one doesn’t but after examining the package contents it looks safe to install alongside the current version of gdbm with rpm -ivh --force. Whether this is sustainable depends on your setup - you might need to add an exclude to your yum.conf to stop the package being upgraded.
With these three packages installed, we were then able to install mocha Pro. On our clean install we then ran into a series of missing library errors, each of which was easy to resolve with yum provides. On a system already running other VFX software, I suspect most will already be available, but you might need to yum install libpng12 if mocha complains about this.
Hopefully these steps will allow you get up and running. I’m sorry this isn’t more straightforward. We will be looking to add CentOS7 to our list of supported platforms during the current release cycle.
Please let me know if you are able to get mocha running on your system, I’m happy to help troubleshoot if any problems remain if you email me at maryp@imagneersystems.com.
