Hi Guys -

I just ran into this problem - on mint 15 - running from terminal

# Warning: program compiled against libxml 209 using older 207
Warning: program compiled against libxml 209 using older 207

Wolfwood gave the solution on a previous thread - and sure enough setting the env to point at Houdini's Python did the trick

export HOUDINI_PYTHON_BIN=/opt/hfs12.1.230/python/bin/python2.6
export HOUDINI_PYTHON_LIB=/opt/hfs12.1.230/python/lib/libpython2.6.so

Thansk for the help Wolfwood - but can someone explain to a linux newbie like me, why Houdini is not looking at its own python libs to begin with? - Is this something to do with the way the new OS (mint 15 in my case) defines how programs should use their own libraries?

Im curious, as this approach was not nessacary in Mint 13.

Thanks for any pointers
