Hey
Fedora 35 machine running Houdini 18.5.351 Python2 Indie.

Crashing on launch

Also crashing when launching license manager, hkey

If I try to run hython on terminal:


Unsure what is the source if Houdini Licensing itself or operating system, since there's also mention of:

libc.so.6 libHoudiniUT.so libHoudiniPRM.so

Anyone faced this before? Last cry for help before reinstalling everything, eheh.
Thanks

Make sure you have all the required packages installed.

libxkbcommon-x11, libxcb-icccm4, and libxcb-render-util packages required for Linux users

libxkbcommon-x11

Installed

jsmack
libxcb-icccm4, and libxcb-render-util

Can't find their Fedora releases. Is this a Debian Ubuntu only requirement?



Will check some of the other libraries mentioned.
Thanks

I found the equivalents here: https://fedora.pkgs.org/35/fedora-x86_64/xcb-util-wm-0.4.1-21.fc35.x86_64.rpm.html [fedora.pkgs.org]
and here: https://fedora.pkgs.org/35/fedora-x86_64/xcb-util-renderutil-0.3.9-19.fc35.x86_64.rpm.html [fedora.pkgs.org]
However I am getting this same message:
free(): invalid size
Aborted (core dumped)


19 worked on Fedora 34 but seems to have broken on Fedora 35? 18.5 is working fine.

Oh darn... I was thinking it was some silly user error here. Maybe there's something more to it. I did up just going ahead and installing Pop!_OS... Will give Fedora another try, another time. Cause updates have been giving me some unstable experience recently.

Issue was reported to support, if more info comes out of it, I'll post.

Cheers

Adding this in case any other Fedora users are lost.
I thought I'd put in a ticket too. They had me run this preload command:
export LD_PRELOAD="/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc_malloc_debug.so.0"

That doesn't work on Fedora because that shared object is in a different folder. The command for Fedora is:
export LD_PRELOAD="/usr/lib64/libc_malloc_debug.so.0"

Now all is fine again.
