Hi there, I have some problems with icons in houdini, the first screen loads ok, but as soon as I create an object or load a scene, it fails to load any icon not previously shown on the inital screen. This is the error message on the shell:

• /opt/hfs12.1.125/hsvg/hsvg: line 7: /hsvg/hsvg-bin: No such file or directory
  It repeats itself for every missed icon. I already tried to delete the cache in:
  ~/houdini12.1/config/Icons/SVGIcons.cache
  I'm stuck with this error, can't solve this.
  The $HFS/hsvg/hsvg script is pointing to a valid hsvg-bin file.
  I am using hfs12.1.125, either houdini or houdinifx with aprrentice license on a openSuSE 12.1 x86_64bits with latest nvidia proprietary driver for a 560gtx card.

Hi there, updated to a daily build (hfs12.1.146) but the issue persists.
I also get this message in the lower part of screen (in this case, just creating a sphere):

Unable to find file “/tmp/SOP_sphere24x24.png : No such file or directory”. Unrecognized file type “/tmp/SOP_sphere24x24.png : No such file or directory”.

Executing ./installDesktopItems.py brings the following error:
./installDesktopItems.py: line 8: syntax error near unexpected token `('
./installDesktopItems.py: line 8: `SRC = os.path.dirname( sys.argv )'

Are they related? Any tips? By the way, I am using an apprentice license, if this is the wrong forum to post it, I apologize.

Hi Rafaels, the link does not exist. I gess I came back too late
By the way, happy holidays for you.

P.s.: About the missing icons problem… Is it a permission problem? Something during install?

Thank you, I did see that post and tried that before. Just downloaded latest version and tried again! Error remains if using my user. If I open houdini as root it works flawless but if I run houdini without root privilegies I get the same errors. I also copied the cache from the root user to my user (and changed ownership, of course), the icons I previously loaded as root show up, the others do not. At the console window just under the timeline i get messages like this:
unable to find file /tmp/SOP_platonic24x24.png
I am pretty sure it is a permission problem, just need to figure out where. By the way, giving owner privilegies to my user over the instalation dir doesn't help.

I ran across this possible solution: http://askubuntu.com/questions/71641/houdini-apprentice-not-showing-icons [askubuntu.com] but it didn't work.
Checking this old thread http://www.sidefx.com/index.php?option=com_forum&Itemid=172&page=viewtopic&p=81709&sid=4ff4ea6e03ea986f16d0bf406c7f6edf [sidefx.com] gave me some speed in the viewport but the same problem with icons. I also deleted the libs under hsvg (not the binaries), and ldd hsvg returns not a dynamic executable
As soon as I click on an icon not previously loaded I get this error in shell: /opt/hfs12.1.185/hsvg/hsvg: line 7: /hsvg/hsvg-bin: No such file or directory.
This is the output of gcc -v:
gcc version 4.7.1 20120723 (SUSE Linux)
Running out of ideas here… :?

You need to run ldd on hsvg-bin, not hsvg. Which distro are you running?

PS. old post that might help with debugging http://www.sidefx.com/index.php?option=com_forum&Itemid=172&page=viewtopic&p=82774&highlight=#82774 [sidefx.com]
