Fedora 40 installation issues due change of zlib to zlib-ng

I know this might be little off topic and might be not resolved here but Davinci resolve is working fine and can be installed on Fedora 39 since the distri still uses zlib, but issue comes on new Fedora version 40 where zlib is not anymore available on distro since system wide change has been done to use zlib-ng-compat libraries. I was testing DaVinci Resolve on my Fedora 40 to see if I can get it working nicely and if so I would buy Pro and since I don't have Pro yet only support I could get for now is the forums here.

Possible workarounds is to use distrobox method where I use centOS or Fedora 39 where DaVinci works but that is not as easy or not so ling term and I'm suspicious how good GPU passthrough is on those so I would prefer Native installation

Well this just saved me a few more hours of searching reasons why things weren't working
Thanks

i got Davinci working on Fedora 40 workstation i found good guide and it always had issues for depencies before and after installation i iwll post here how i got it working easy and upgrading to Fedora 40 didint broke anything

This indicates that you already have resolve installed (from an upgrade)? The resolve installer halts at the zlib issue on a fresh fedora 40 install, can`t get passed it..

Hi! A can install Davinchi resolve 19 beta on Fedora 40.
Use: sudo SKIP_PACKAGE_CHECK=1 ./DaVinci_Resolve_19.0b1_Linux.run

Hi,

Just in case it helps work around the zlib issue: on Fedora at least, the installer apparently egrep's the output of rpm, so aliasing rpm to a script that would replace zlib-ng with zlib and running the installer from the command line might work:

Code: Select all

$ cat foo.sh
#!/bin/sh
PACKAGES=$(rpm $@ | sed s/zlib-ng/zlib/)
echo "${PACKAGES}"
exit 0

$ alias rpm=./foo.sh
$ ./DaVinciInstaller # sorry, forgot the actual file name

Another option -- that worked for me -- is to move egrep out of the way by renaming it for the duration of the installation. The installer will then ignore the check altogether (including the check for other libraries, so this is by no means the preferred way).

After that, you'll still have to move the libs around like previously. This merely addresses the installer not running because of the switch to zlib-ng.

Hope this helps.

yes best option for me was to install F39 do all this to verify DaVinci is running on it then i just did Distro upgrade and everything was still working because the zlib issue if you run on Fresh F40 installation. on that i found best way to go around is creating distrobox and install DaVinci on there

i actually tested fresh F40 Workstation installation with this method and it is still working all pre installation depencies working libcurl might give fedora errorr

(try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages or '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)

so skip that install rest and after those done just use

Code: Select all

sudo SKIP_PACKAGE_CHECK=1 ./DaVinci.ResolveXYZ

after installation is done create the folder and move the libs there on the post and it works and run as nothing
