Seems like metahuman nodes are not working on Linux at all?
Is there any way to have that to work or we are forced to use windows for any metahuman related work?

There is no linux build. Documents also say unpack on windows then copy to linux. But tested only on rocky 8 so...

Hi Mirko, I've tracked this down to an issue with how the MetaHuman plugin was built on Linux. As released on FAB right now, it only works if your Houdini installation was installed at /opt/hfs21.0.440. A workaround for this is to add the correct dsolib directory to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH prior to starting Houdini, something like this in bash:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$HFS/dsolib${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH}"

I'll be contacting the Epic folks on this so hopefully the next release of the MetaHuman plugin for Houdini won't require this workaround anymore.
