Thanks for that, I like the layout of your json.

It still adds the ‘:&’ to the end of the value in centos7, doesn't have this problem in Windows though.

I've created a bug report, it's not an issue as the documentation states to add it to the env file and that's what I'm doing for now.

I'm having a similar issue while switching from houdini.env to packages, but only for optix (I have at least 10 others with same path working ok)

I have an optix.json in ~/packages with the following

{ "env" : [ { "HOUDINI_NVIDIA_OPTIX_DSO_PATH":"/central/sw/houdini/plugins/optix/lin/" } ] }

I tried shortning the path
from
/central/sw/houdini/plugins/optix/linux
to
/central/sw/optix/lin/

Still get the issue where is adds

:&

into the path

Houdini DSO error on ‘/central/sw/optix/lin/:&/liboptix.so’
/central/sw/optix/lin/:&/liboptix.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


works fine if I stick it in the houdini.env file

Houdini 17.5.391 on Centos7
