Houdini 19 doesn't load AT ALL on Ubuntu 21.10 March 27, 2022, 9:52 a.m.

I managed to get Houdini 19 to load on Fedora 35.
Graphics: Nvidia Proprietary Drivers. 510.47.03
Kernel: 5.16.16-200.fc35.x86_64
WM: awesome (x11)

I had the same issue posted in this thread. The launcher installed like normal but I could not start any Houdini version. I was only met with the Error:
munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer
Aborted (core dumped)
Using the Information posted in this thread I managed to get Houdini 19 running.
This is what i did.

First I installed all the dependencies. I do not know if this is necessary but a previous user recommended this.
sudo dnf install libxcb libxcb-devel xcb-util xcb-util-devel xcb-util-*-devel libX11-devel libXrender-devel libxkbcommon-devel libxkbcommon-x11-devel libXi-devel libdrm-devel libXcursor-devel libXcomposite-devel

Then I sourced the houdini_setup_bash and preloaded libc_malloc_debug.so.0. Ubuntu users apparently have to do something similar but this file is located in /lib64/ on Fedora 35.
cd /opt/hfs19.0/
source houdini_setup_bash
export LD_PRELOAD="/lib64/libc_malloc_debug.so.0"
houdini &

Now after doing all this and executing "houdini &" in "/opt/hfs19.0/" Houdini 19 starts like normal.
