4.1 SP1 and Softimage 2011 SAP - completed task but..

I guess this is worth trying, but it’s hard to say if it will help or not. Something you can do though to simplify diagnosing this problem is to remove Deadline from the equation. Just us a command prompt on the problematic machine to test rendering by running this command (change the path to the scene file and the output folder as necessary):

"c:\program files\autodesk\softimage 2011.5\application\bin\xsibatch.bat" -render "X:\Crooked Robot Studios\07 Animation\Scene_015\Scene015_Shot005\Scenes\test.scn" -frames 1,1,1 -pass "Default_Pass" -output_dir "X:\Crooked Robot Studios\10 Render\01 Sequences\Scene015_Shot005\test" -skip False -mb False -verbose on

Once this command renders properly, you should be good to go with Deadline.

You should be able to use any package manager application to install the rpms, and it should be able to manage the dependencies for you. You just need to add “http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/archive/2.6.7/download/RHEL_5/” as a repository to your package manager first, and then you can use the package manager to install it.

Yes, you can just delete the old repository folder.
