JColdrick,

Could you please elaborate a bit on how you managed to setup Houdini 64 bit in Suse 64 - did you use debian 64 Houdini compile and fought with dependencies or did otherwise? Coz for now I've been struggling with debian 64 testing release and it has been a real pain in the ass after Mandriva Linux (though I didn't give up yet).

Thanks.

I'm not near the workstation now, but as I recall there was a single link to make…in fact…

http://www.sidefx.com/index.php?option=com_forum&Itemid=172&page=viewtopic&t=4840&highlight=debian [sidefx.com]

a search shows that thread from back when I first tried it - didn't seem to need anything on SUSE 10, but i think it's related to libstdc++.so.6 from the looks of it. Might want to see if your distro has a package that includes that.

I'll be honest, we need to run 32 here because almost everything is 32 and it's a major pain to introduce split compiles for no real reason - so I haven't tested the 64 bit distro lately. It simply doesn't offer anything we need at this time.

Cheers,

J.C.

ok,

finally I've managed to set everything up, houdini 64 on debian 64. So if anybody else of masohistic type decides to follow this way and stucks somewhere - please ask, maybe I'll be able to be of some help. I do experience a couple of issues though, which I'll describe in another thread.

Thanks everyone.

nrrr… I can't believe we're going through this move to 64-bit all over again.
Hello! 1996 called and says it wants its' users back! :-)

sgi IRIX 6.2 went 64-bit in 1996. Ten years ago…
