apprentice install errors on Ubuntu 9.04

[static]

As the topic suggests, I'm trying to install apprentice (10.0.374-linux_x86_64_gcc4.3) on Ubuntu 9.04. I ran into a few errors regarding pushd: command not found in my first attempt, but after recreating the shell link to bash it fixed the problem. Now I have some bigger issues...

I ran the install script as: sudo ./houdini.install

Here's the install in the terminal:

We hope you enjoy using Houdini 10.0
Thank you.

Here's what happens when I source houdini_setup_bash (or just houdini_setup):

blair@Blair-Linux:~$ cd /opt/hfs10.0.374/
blair@Blair-Linux:/opt/hfs10.0.374$ source houdini_setup_bash

I'm not sure what could be causing the error, so I did some other miscellaneous checks just to see if gcc was installed correctly and which shell I was using:

blair@Blair-Linux:~$ which gcc
/usr/bin/gcc
blair@Blair-Linux:~$ which gcc-4.3
/usr/bin/gcc-4.3
blair@Blair-Linux:~$ echo $SHELL
/bin/bash

Anyone have any ideas? Tempted to say I have a faulty Ubuntu install

Anyone have any ideas? Tempted to say I have a faulty Ubuntu install

I would try the download listed as gcc 4.2 "Debian 64-bit Linux (lenny)*" before messing with Ubuntu.

I didn't even realize sidefx had released a version for gcc 4.3. I'm going to try it on my Fedora 10 box when I get home and see how it goes.

Just installed the ubuntu 9 GCC 4.3 x86_64 build on my Fedora 10 box and everything works great, so no help there.

The only time I've seen the error you posted was during an accidental install of 64 bit Houdini on a 32 bit Linux machine. Are you positive you installed 64 bit Ubuntu?

You could try running ldd on houdini-bin.

cd /opt/hfs10.0.390
source houdini_setup_bash
cd bin
ldd ./houdini-bin
