Error while loading plugin

V-Ray for Maya V-Ray for Maya :: Issues
1

I’m having trouble loading vray in maya. I’ve installed everything, have the license server running, etc. But I can’t get the plugin to actually load properly.

What I’m working with:
OSX Snow leopard
Maya 2012
Vray 2.0 for Maya edu

When I try to load vrayformaya.bundle, I get this error message:

Error: dlopen(/Applications/Autodesk/maya2012/Maya.app/Contents/vray/plug-ins/vrayformaya.bundle, 1): Library not loaded: @executable_path/libvray.dylib Referenced from: /Applications/Autodesk/maya2012/Maya.app/Contents/vray/plug-ins/vrayformaya.bundle Reason: image not found (vrayformaya)

Then vrlservice says that it can’t listen to port 30304.
I set up port forwarding for 30304, and confirmed that it works, but yet I’m getting the same error.

I’ve contacted ChaosGroup, but haven’t gotten a reply for about a week. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Can you check if the library libvray.dylib is in the folder /Applications/Autodesk/maya2012/Maya.app/Contents/MacOS ?

The file’s there. I’m trying to fix the 30304 thing as well. Might that be the cause of it?

For the vrlservice, there is probably another instance of the process that is already running. What is the exact error message?

The dlopen() error is an odd one; I will install the educational version tomorrow and see it works fine here. In any case, have you tried re-installing V-Ray for Maya?

Best regards,
Vlado

I reinstalled vrlserver, and it hasn’t given me the error message again, so I assume it’s working.

I also reinstalled vray for maya, but the problem is still there. It’s just not reading that dylib

I dug up my copy of maya 2011. It installed fine and loaded automatically. It must be something with 2012 and the hotfixes. I’ll reinstall everything from scratch. At least I know everything else is working, as far as the licensing, etc.

BTW, thanks for the help Vlado.

Update: I reinstalled Maya 2012, and Vray. But it still doesn’t work. It seems like it’s just that combo for me.
