I'm having issues with sho with H9.5 installed. Using 9.5.202 on Ubuntu 64 with sho from Prman 13.5.4 gcc 4.1 64 bit.

Attempting to open a texture gives me this error.

sho: DspyName/DspyOpen failed.
sho: Can't open framebuffer.


I recently had H9.1 installed and it worked,so I know that it's possible.

Otherwise, installing Rman Display worked fine in 9.5. I can view shaders and render using Mplay as my framebuffer. Sho just doesn't like it for some reason.

I have both Houdini and Prman in my $PATH, and I've also set $RMANFB to “framebuffer” so I don't think it's an environment issue.

rendermn.ini is also in my $HOME directory and it correctly points to $HOME/houdini9.5/ri_shaders/d_houdini.so

Is there anything else I can try?

Thanks
