Hello everyone

I have been trying to get houdini to work well with arnold and I have been having a very hard time. In order to debug the issue I decided to run houdini from the terminal by running

cd /Applications/Houdini/Houdini16.0.600/Houdini FX 16.0.600.app/Contents/MacOS
./houdini

The application then starts, but after several seconds it crashes with a long traceback.

I have searched for several hours and I have not been able to find anything helpful. Does anyone have any tips on how to solve this?

Thanks so much!

You need to source the environment first; Sidefx have set this up for you by using:

/Applications/Houdini/Houdini16.0.675/Utilities/Houdini\ Terminal\ 16.0.675.app

Hello rcortes9,

did you ever find a solution to this? I'm having a very similar issue. I run the Houdini Terminal app by double-clicking it in the finder. This sets up the environemnt if I understand correctly. I then type “hindie” and it starts Houdini but then crashes:

To completely fix python on Mac OS follow these steps in OS X terminal.
You'll need to have homebrew installed (https://brew.sh).
BTW I am running macOS 10.13.3 and these steps work well. I can't vouch for it working under newer version of OS x.

First try fixing your existing python installation:
brew cleanup
sudo pip install --upgrade virtualenv

If that doesn't do it you may need to completely reinstall python on your mac.
You will need to install Xcode (https://developer.apple.com/xcode/). This is deep surgery and could screw up your system python terribly but it worked flawlessly for me: 

sudo rm -rf /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7
sudo rm -rf "/Applications/Python 2.7"
ls -l /usr/local/bin | grep '../Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7'
cd /usr/local/bin/
ls -l /usr/local/bin | grep '../Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7' | awk '{print $9}' | tr -d @ | xargs rm
brew uninstall python
sudo xcode-select -r
brew update && brew reinstall python

Does anyone know of a fix for launching Houdini from Terminal on a Mac? I get tons of python errors, no GUI, and quits back to terminal.
I'm dying for some VEX printf() capability on Mac Houdini.
The above Home Brew technique fails on a DVTFoundation error.

Trying Houdini Indie 16.0.75 with OS 10.12.6
Launching from the dock works fine.
Thanks.

UPDATE: It works! I pushed through the Home Brew errors I was getting and followed the instructions above (had to re-install python). Now I can launch the terminal app and type “hindie” and I can see printf statements on my MacBook! Hurray! Thank you!!
If you run into the 64/32 bit python issue, start here: https://docs.brew.sh/Installation.html [docs.brew.sh]
And make sure you have everything needed. Then follow jonahtobias' other instructions. I also launched Xcode manually to make sure all the licensing was approved. But that's it.
