Actually, I get the errors in the above post without launching Houdini at all. After playing for a while, the video player just crashes and I get that error.

Just when I thought everything was working…

As I mentioned I am now able to watch the cmiVFX video just fine using Firefox 3.0.1.

But, when I launch Houdini the video player crashes.

The following error messages are echoed to the shell:

I am using Ubuntu 8.04 64-bit too, actually. I followed the instructions on the link you provided. It worked! Yes, I am using Firefox-3.0.1 so the heads up on the path change from */firefox-3.0/plugins/ to *firefox-3.01/plugins/ was handy during the linking of the *.so file. I am able to watch the cmiVFX houdini video in Unbutu now, so, thanks so much!
