You have old H11 plugins in your HOUDINI_PATH. All old plugins must be recompiled for H12, they will not load and you'll get such errors.

Just took a look at your link. You have HFS preset to a H11 install. Offhand, I cannot think of reason to ever explicitly set the HFS environment variable.

It's hard to say. Launch the Houdini Command Line Tools and then run “hconfig”. What do you have there?

Basically, I think the problems you're encountering is incorrect setup of old Houdini versions that is being found.

Took a second look. Your PATH environment variable is also erroneously set to include a Houdini 11 distribution. I highly recommend NOT putting all the application specific directories in your PATH. Offhand, I see some Maya Python directories that might screw things up for Houdini.

Try changing to GL 2.1, in the preferences, 3d viewports tab.
