I just change my OS to linux ubuntu 10.04 64bits , hoping that a 64bits OS will work better with houdini.

however i am facing a problem with the console, when i write my python code in the .otl nodes I cant print!! for e.g. if i type a simple command

x = 1
y = 1
print x + y

Supposedly i would expect the console to pop up and print the value, but there is no response. Have anyone met with this issue before ? Thanks

Have you launched your Houdini session from a console? It's not like Windows in that if you launch it from the menu items it will pop up a console when it has error output. You have to start it from the console on linux/Mac OS in order for output to be directed there.

Thanks alot , i guess thats part of getting use to linux os .
