Unable to load Mtoa.so - Fatal Error - Linux

I'm very stuck on this issue and been trying to find a solution.

I've installed Maya 2022 on Ubuntu following the instructions here. After a few issues with the licenser I got it to work. However, I have not been able to get Arnold to work.

When I start Maya I get no errors or warnings from the terminal, but when the main window shows I have a warning:


// Warning: file: /usr/autodesk/maya2022/scripts/others/supportRenderers.mel line 67: The renderer "arnold" used by this scene, is not currently available. The "mayaSoftware" renderer will be used instead. To prevent this message from being displayed in the future, set the environment variable: MAYA_NO_WARNING_FOR_MISSING_DEFAULT_RENDERER=1 //


I then go to Windows->Setting/Preferences->Plug in manager

I then find mtoa.so and click load, but then Maya has a Fatal Error. This then appears in the terminal:

/usr/autodesk/maya2022/bin/senddmp.app/senddmp.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


My first hunch was Python, but python appears to be installed correctly on the Laptop and my looking for reasons for this error have all come up with no real results (may be I'm googling the wrong terms).


Anyone able to figure out whats going on? I've tried re-installing Arnold several times and its made no change.

You can ignore the crash, the real problem is that MtoA is failing to load because of Python problem. (The crash is because MtoA fails to load, and then tries to deregister itself, but it tries to de-register stuff that was never registered).

Instead of loading MtoA, try to run these Python commands in the script editor, and see if anything is logged in the script history:


import arnold
import mtoa
import mtoa.cmds.registerArnoldRenderer;mtoa.cmds.registerArnoldRenderer.registerArnoldRenderer()

Thanks for the reply;


import arnold

# Error: ImportError: file /usr/autodesk/maya2022/lib/python3.7/site-packages/shiboken2/files.dir/shibokensupport/__feature__.py line 142: libffi.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory #


Both line 1 and 3 do this. import mtoa on its own doesn't produce any output.


The file __feature__.py exists. However the call the file is making on line 142 is:


return original_import(name, *args, **kwargs)


Leading me to think it can't find libffi.so.6 - however, I was never good with Python so might be wide of the mark here.

So I found a workaround (for now, unsure of a proper solution). Sharing it here in case anyone stumbles upon this:


Load Maya from terminal, but BEFORE you launch Maya type the following command:

export LD_PRELOAD="/snap/core18/1988/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libffi.so.6"


Replacing the directories to your location for libffi.so.6. (If you have python already installed, it should be on your computer).


Then launch Maya from the terminal, which for me is:

/usr/autodesk/maya2022/bin/maya


If I find a more permanent solution I will post it back here. Having done a little digging, Ubuntu 20.04 is apparently part of the problem.

Thanks again Stephen for pointing me in the right direction!

The 'more permanent solution' you're probably looking for 😉

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libffi.so.6 /usr/autodesk/maya2022/lib/libffi.so.6

Thank you! After a day of tearing my hair out on this, linking didn't even cross my mind.

For this kind of problems, It's always somehow at least in part or to some degrees .. a linking problem 🙂
