You're running a 32 bit system? I seem to recall in my Ubuntu adventure(my last) that running the 32 bit Houdini on a 64 bit system(something trivial on SUSE) was a little more complicated.

Also, you tried renaming $HOME/houdini8.2, starting a fresh houdini, then saving?

Cheers,

J.C.

Yep, I'm running a 32 bit system.

I think I narrowed down the cause.
I'm using apprentice, so when I try to save the file as <anything>.hip it will crash, HOWEVER, if I leave out the extension or call it .hipnc it works!

Houdini will also crash if you pass any command line arguments to it that it does not recognize, with a similar stack trace/mem dump.

For example, I tried finding out which command line options houdini supports by running:

$ houdini –help

Crash.

I tried running
$ houdini dklnfjkdbf

Crash. It should gracefully abort, telling me the option is unrecognized.

Hope you guys fix this.

I agree the app should never crash, but feeding it a legit file is the “workaround”, so I don't think it should get in your way. When I start it with a bad file, it starts up fine with an empty hip, so perhaps something else your end is at fault. Or perhaps it's an Apprentice thing(trying to stop backdoor attempts to circumvent protection).

For better or worse, the unofficial standard that SESI seems to have taken for getting command line help is to feed it a single “-”, such as “mplay -”. Personally that's always bugged me - there should be the ability to do “-h”, “–help”, etc.

Obviously, you can't work with hip files using Apprentice. You're restricted to hipnc.
