Just to echo that, I installed the Resolve 20 update today on Fedora 42 successfully, to upgrade a working version 19 install, and came here to post an updated note - and found your post. On my machine it also complained about a missing zlib even though that's not actually an issue. So I skipped package checking because I could probably safely assume that's fine since version 19 was already working. I now keep the following notes for myself for a Fedora install or update.
INSTALL
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Use the SKIP_PACKAGE_CHECK=1 prefix to run the installer from the command line
- Code: Select all
SKIP_PACKAGE_CHECK=1 ./DaVinci_Resolve_Studio_20.0_Linux.run
FIX OUTDATED LIBRARIES
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
If right after installation you find DR won’t start up, try launching it from the terminal by executing /opt/resolve/bin/resolve. If you see this error:
- Code: Select all
./resolve: symbol lookup error: /lib64/libpango-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_string_free_and_steal
It’s because DR ships with outdated glib libraries. Just delete these libraries from the DR folder:
- Code: Select all
cd /opt/resolve/libs/
rm libglib-2.0.so* libgio-2.0.so* libgmodule-2.0.so*
After that, DR should start just fine.
