H7 HDK & libLM.so? (Linux)


Recommended Posts

Wow, lots of posts in this forum! :rolleyes:

I'm trying to compile with Houdini 7.0.164 and/or 7.0.167 on RH9 and RH7 machines, respectively. When I hcustom, I get:

hcompile: error while loading shared libraries: libLM.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Anyone run into this? Anyone know where to find libLM? What provides it? Is it the new lib main for a new gcc?

Hi Brian,

Haven't seen that error before. I just did a build on RH7.3 with H7.0.161 and didn't see anything like that.

I just googled for liblm.so and it returned a bunch of stuff, mostly related to Solaris oddly enough, and a few things related to X11 but nothing very informative.

SESI?

hey BrianK I don't know to much about compiling stuff for houdini, but do you have the compat-libstdc++ packages for gcc ? I was getting a bunch of missing *.so files whilst trying to compile some basic linux programs, if you have apt-get installed just do an apt-get install compat-libstdc++. Of course i could be totally wrong, just trying to help.

HDK licenses used to be separate. It was announced at SIGGRAPH to be free (support is a different story) and is currently undergoing changes to make that possible. As those are special non-public builds (which company are you with again?), I suspect that those builds don't have a working HDK.

Yip, I just built a bunch of stuff with 161 on RH7 and RH9, no messages about libLM.so.

Not helpful, but maybe something got added post 161?

Something does seem to have changed, I'm getting the same errors when trying to do builds on RH9 (using H7.0.172). And I get a weird license server error when trying to compile on Fedora Core 2 (the license server is a IRIX box, RH7 can contact the server fine though).

Does anyone happen to have a copy of H7.0.161 for RH9? Or should I contact support?

Thx.

hmm.. I hadn't heard of non working HDK builds, but I suppose that's possible.

Any idea which version of H7 does have a working HDK?

... and I'm with Martian Labs, to answer your question. ;)

I had success with H7.0.161 on WIN-XP and RH7.3 but had not tried it with RH9, I just got the distro from Jason, will try tonight.

I also got a weird license server error when running Fedora Core 2, same machine as I run WIN-XP and RH7.3, which contacts the license server OK.

Anyone else doing FC2 HDK builds?

Neither build 171 or 172 for RH7.3 have the HDK (not an option while installing).

Any idea where to get 161? I don't see it at the download site (other than for ia64).

Has 7 been officially released yet? If so, what is the release build? I'd imagine that would have a working HDK and be downloadable somewhere, yes?

Mark: we're not running FC2... RH & Suse only

7 has not been released yet, nope. 161 seems like a stable build, though. And it has a working HDK.

We have all the builds, well - except Solaris. I'd happily provide 'em to you if SESI doesn't mind. Or give them back to SESI to give to you.

I think that may be because the HDK is included with all distros now rather than being an option, I noticed the same thing this weekend when installing.

ahh... interesting. Guess I shouldn't have deleted all of those downloads in my recent fit of frustration.

Good to know, though.

Go straight to 7.0.171 which has the HDK.

I looked at this version for Windows last night and noticed there's a new "hdkinstall.exe" app in the toolkit/bin dir, and no more makeheaders! Yea!!! Thanks! (hcustom also now checks for the .NET tools)

There should be an "hdkinstall" in $HT/bin. Run that (even under Linux) to get HDK working. You'll probably need internet conectivity to check out a (free) HDK license which happens automatically when you run hdkinstall.

and yes, make sure you have a newer build, I think I needs to be > 173 or 175 for Linux.
