Thanks for the help guys. It turned out that it was indeed X11 related.
Uninstalled Houdini, then installed the X11 software from my Leopard discs and re-installed the latest Houdini build. It worked straightaway. Awesome!

Thanks a lot!

Hi Steven,

thank you for your reply.
I downloaded and installed the latest build (420) and unfortunately it makes no difference.
No idea what's going on here.

Hi guys,

I'm experiencing this exact problem. No GUI icons and extremely slow performance up to the point where it's unusable. The only difference is that I'm trying to run this under OSX 10.5.6 on a 2.5Ghz MacBook Pro with 4GB of Ram.

I'm running the 379 build and that appears to be the only build available to Apprentice users.
I tried the chmod workaround to no avail.

This kinda puts a full stop to my first Houdini experience before I even had a chance to do anything.. :?

Any ideas?
