I'm trying to install Houdini 11 Apprentice on OS-X 10.5.8

The install log complains of inconsistent tabs and spaces in a python script somewhere, The line that's causing the problem reads, “ raise RuntimeError()” So I think the real problem is something else. When I try to open the file with the errant line in it to see what is trying to raise an exception, the file isn't there anymore.

Anyone else hit this problem? Any suggestions?


from the install log:

I upgraded to OS 10.6.3 and the install went without a hitch.

Upgrade to Snow Leopard is a good thing. Improved OpenGL support too.

Snow Leopard upgrade fixed the problem for me as well.
