Hi Rob,

Hi,

I didn't want to start a debate on RHEL and derivatives…
but thank you all for the amount of information…
Anyway I'd like to know if Houdini 17 works with RHEL 7.x (or CentOS,Oracle etc..) with the standard gcc compiler shipped with the distribution;
From what I understand a more recent version (6.3.1) is necessary only if you plan to write plug-ins;

Cheers,

Luca

Hi All,
some considerations about Houdini and RHEL/CentOS support;

from the the System Requirements page:
for Houdini 16.5
RHEL/CentOS 6+ is supported,but the below note says: “gcc 4.8 required”

for Houdini 17,
RHEL/CentOS 7+ is supported,but the below note says: “gcc 6.3.1 required”

well….it's rather confusing/misleading to me…
since the system ggc compiler that comes along with RHEL/CentOS 6.x is 4.4.x while RHEL/CentOS 7 is 4.8.x
I know that one can use a “non-standard” gcc compiler via non-system repos such as RH developer toolset etc..
but it's not a vanilla configuration


Cheers,
Luca
