Hi
I am using Houdini Apprentice 9.5 and was trying to do a bit of HDK programming. At first before coding my own SOP, I tried to compile one of the examples in the toolkit directory (StarSOP). It compiles fine and the corresponding dll is generated and Houdini Apprentice loads the dll as well ( I get the SOP in the tab menu in Geometry) but the moment I select it and press Enter, the application crashes (Segmentation fault). Has anyone tried this before? I dont have any idea why this happens. Is it because I am using the Apprentice edition?
thanks
HDK

Yes I am using the latest Houdini 9.5.241. Funny thing is it is happening with three custom SOPs I tried (2 from the samples and one which I coded). I compiled them with hcustom. I am not using any external library. Just plain default code. eg: hcustom SOP_Star.C
So there cant be any improper linking problem.
Below is the crash log ————————-

I have the 32 bit installer. Been pulling my hair out trying to figure out why the SOPs arent working. I am using Windows Vista. Can that be a problem? But Houdini is working fine, no hiccups. Its just the dlls of the custom SOPs. I guess its working for you. The dll size is 48kb (SOP_Star.dll). Is there any discrepancy in that?If any library is missing, then the size would be different right?

Ya I am using the 32bit cl. I tried the same Houdini build (9.5.241) and compiled the SOP_Star and SOP_Flatten on my XP machine.
Config
MS Windows XP Professional
Version 2002 Service Pack 2
Machine config
Dual Processor Pentium 3.2Ghz, 3.19Ghz, 2.0Gb RAM
Nvidia 7800GTX
The SOPs dont work on this machine as well. Are there any environment variables to be set? Where do I get the daily builds? When I execute the Flatten SOP, I get the following crash log

I didnt get achance to try out on Vista again, but I'll do what you said. Thanks for all the help btw. It cant be the problem with the code, since it has worked before on other users machines I suppose. So logically it has to be some configuration or compilation problem??
