Hello, i have installed Houdini on linux RH 9 (with Gnome desktop)and i can do ./install.houdini but i can't do source houdini_setup. When i do that i get the next error:

bash: houdini_setup: line 26: syntax error near unexpected token `set'
bash: houdini_setup: line 26: ` if ( ! $?cwd ) set cwd=`/bin/pwd`'

Someone can help me?

Thanks

try using houdini_setup_bash

Or just switch to “tcsh” before sourcing the enviroment!

Firstly thanks a lot i have run the script succesfully, but now i have other problem (and i haven't found a solution)when i run hkey ,it is this:

houdini: relocation error: /usr/hfs6.1/dsolib/libHoudiniUT.so: symbol errno, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference

I have found at one forum one topic about this and the same problem with other 3d software i have tried with one of them and i haven't problems with glibc, i supose that the problem is diferent (furthermore there aren't a solution for the problem in the forum)
What can i do?
Thanks

Hi there,

RH9 is not supported and also the threading model is different.

To get Houdini running, you have to set the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL environment variable which is a Linux specific variable.

setenv LD_ASSUME_KERNEL 2.4.1

Good luck!

Cheers!

thanks a lot, now i can run houdini

and why I can't use hkey to enter lincense?? when I click on “
file”, it shutted down??
and how didi you solve these problem?

Hey,

Awe yes the answer to that question is in your host file you can not have just Dynamic IP. You have to have a static IP in addition to loop back address 127.0.0.1 which is to say localhost.localhost So in the /ect directory there is a file called host edit that file and add the entry

CG3D.linux.dom 192.168.1.2

or something like that. Basically you need a domain address and a name. Make sure you have one blank line at the end of the file ie hit enter. Resave the file.

Enter that in the hkey instead of localhost.localhost and then it should work assuming you have a connection to the internet.

You can test to make sure you entry worked with the following command.
ping -c 5 CG3D.linux.dom in your virtual terminal window.

P.S. I don't know how familar you are with linux so I just wrote out all the steps. Some of them may be more basic than you need to know but I am just trying to cover all of the bases.

Wow! MatrixNaN, How'd you manage to diagnose the problem with just
