3/5 add-ons don't show up in Blender v2.69 about blendergis HOT 12 CLOSED

UPDATE: I upgraded to Blender v2.76b; the add-ons still don't show up.

Hi,

You're right, the bug seems to come from the init process of multiples files addons. But I don't know whats wrong.

Can you tel me what is your operating system?

Did the warning message ("multiple addons using the same name") appears before you have tried to install the addons?

Do you have some errors messages reported when you launch Blender from a terminal (or toggle system console in window menu of Blender)?

Thanks

Thank you for your reply! I'm using Ubuntu 14.04.3, and I haven't received any warning messages in either GUI or python console mode. No warning messages appear in the 'Blender User Preferences' interface either.

How do you install Blender, ppa or official repositories or download from blender website ?
Where do you install BlenderGIS ?

from blendergis.

I installed Blender 2.76b from a ppa (ppa:thomas-schiex/blender), and installed BlenderGIS by copying the scripts and folders to: /usr/share/blender/2.76/scripts/addons.

What about gdal python bindings ?

from blendergis.

GDAL wasn't installed before, but I just installed GDAL 1.10.1 using "sudo easy_install GDAL" yet the scripts mentioned in my original post still don't appear in Blender User Preferences.

It seems the problem should be here ...
Open python console in Blender and test gdal as Dominic says :
from osgeo import gdal
from osgeo import gdalnumeric_

io_shapefile need gdal instead of import raster does not need gdal

from blendergis.

No it can't be that, gdal is an optional dependency, all addons can work without.

Have you try to start blender from a linux terminal and look for errors messages? (Python console within blender doesn't report addons outputs)

from blendergis.

When launching Blender from terminal, the only messages I see are:

connect failed: No such file or directory
Read new prefs: .../.config/blender/2.76/config/userpref.blend

and then Blender opens without any problems. It's good to hear that gdal is an optional dependency, because I can't seem to get it to work with Blender (ImportError: No module named '_gdal'). I'm not concerned about that at this point, though. I just want to get the plugins working.

Thank you for your continued help with this matter.

ok, try to download the tarball from blender.org, unzip and copy/paste blenderGIS files into the addons subfolder, and launch this newest install

from blendergis.

Thank you so much! Downloading the tarball from blender.org fixed the issue; all plugins show up now. I really appreciate all of the help with this.
