[7.1.0.35] Houdini hython fails to launch

Deadline

Hello,

There is something strange here, see the next-to-last line. A space seems to be missing, any clue ?

[EDIT] It seems to happen only with the option “use ‘su’ instead of ‘sudo’” activated. Unfortunately we do need this option.

Hey man, this is a really weird problem.

It looks like the program loader is concatenating the working directory and binary path. I’m guessing su might be do blame. Can you give me a call today? I’m not sure where you are in the world, so opening a ticket so we can work out times is likely going to be best (I’m here 9-5 central). Support e-mail is support@thinkboxsoftware.com.

I’ll poke at our su vs sudo code and see what I come up with.

Yesterday was holiday here.
I just opened a ticket.

Thanks

And I already have an answer… It looks like it’s true that we forgot to add a space in the call to su.

I’m told we’ll be releasing a quick patch version soon as 7.1.1 and a build in the beta forums will be out next week.

I’ll try and get you access to that download when it’s available.
