Good morning world,

am I the only one that can't search with Houdini 8.543 on Win2000? Java J2S“ Runtime Environment 5.0 is running but I can't search! The error message is:

”Lock obtain timed out:Lock@C:\……“

On the other side I'm unable to open the example files inside. I allways got the message:

”The file /content/examples/….xml?examples.html cannot be found. Please check the location and try again.

(after searching … I can't find them)

BTW: From older versions of Houdini I know that there are some variables that are set by Houdini installation, I find nothing! The only Houdini variable I've set by myself was $HOME. Does anyone have a whole list, so I can set them by myself?

Thanks a lot and a nice day ;o)

That's odd - I think that can happen if Houdini or hbrowser crashes while in the middle of searching. Look in the temp directory and/or in $HFS/mozilla/chrome/*.index for files with names that start with “lucene-” followed by an MD5 hash – these are lock files, and you can delete them.

This is fixed in the mainline, I need to backport the fixes to Houdini 8. Should be done today!

Sorry for the problems,

Matt

Thanks that there is anyone out ther ;o)

I have found no files with the name “lucene” and how will I be informed about a fixed version?

Maye I missunderstood something

If you go to the Download section of the sidefx.com website you should be able to download nightly builds of Houdini 8. Build 562 or later should have the fixes in them.

Upgrading should also take care of the searching problem.

Thanks for such fast support!

I get the same problem in 8.1.704 on WinXP SP2 machine, Java 5 JRE is installed and running. Was that issue fixed?
