Houdini 18.5.696 on Mac - Shelf Tools don't work

[pixeltrain]

Hi,

installed the nightlies build vray_adv_51020_houdini18.5.696_377ed7d_17242_mac

I use Houdini 18.5.696 (Python 2) on OS X 11.6.1

If I click on a V-RAY Shelf item I get this:


Traceback (most recent call last):
File "vray_object_VRayNodeLightDome", line 1, in <module>
File "/Applications/ChaosGroup/vray_adv_51020_houdini18.5.696/vfh_home/scripts/python/vfh/vfh_tools.py", line 14, in <module>
from vfh import vfh_vrscene_unpack
File "/Applications/ChaosGroup/vray_adv_51020_houdini18.5.696/vfh_home/scripts/python/vfh/vfh_vrscene_unpack.py", line 15, in <module>

ImportError: dlopen(/Applications/ChaosGroup/vray_adv_51020_houdini18.5.696/vfh_home/soho/python2.7/_vfh_ipr.so, 2): Library not loaded: @rpath/vray_for_houdini.dylib
Referenced from: /Applications/ChaosGroup/vray_adv_51020_houdini18.5.696/vfh_home/soho/python2.7/_vfh_ipr.so
Reason: image not found

In my Houdini.env I still have that:

# V-RAY
VFH_ROOT="/Applications/ChaosGroup/vray_adv_51020_houdini18.5.696"

VRAY_APPSDK="${VFH_ROOT}/appsdk"
VRAY_OSL_PATH="${VRAY_APPSDK}/bin"
VRAY_UI_DS_PATH="${VFH_ROOT}/ui"
VFH_HOME="${VFH_ROOT}/vfh_home"
VFH_PATH="${VFH_HOME}/bin:${VRAY_APPSDK}/bin"

PATH="${VFH_PATH}:${PATH}"
HOUDINI_PATH="${VFH_HOME}:${HOUDINI_PATH}:&"

HOUDINI13_VOLUME_COMPATIBILITY=1
HDF5_DISABLE_VERSION_CHECK=1
#
# V-Ray for Houdini End


Any ideas?

BTW, have the same issue with Houdini 19.0.383 (Python 3) with build vray_adv_51020_houdini19.0.383_377ed7d_17247_mac

Thanks,

I had to change archive directory structure utilizing latest .json package syntax available for 19.x for easier selection of python2/3.
You'll have to adjust your .env setup and point HOUDINI_DSO_PATH to ${VFH_HOME}/dso_py2 or ${VFH_HOME}/dso_py3 depending on which Python your Houdini is.
You could use "packages/vray_for_houdini_pyX.json" shipped with the archive as the reference for other variables (I see your setup is missing PYTHONPATH, features like python post-translate script wont work then).

Thanks, now it works.

I see your setup is missing PYTHONPATH, features like python post-translate script wont work then

I used now the content of your example. There is PYTHONPATH in it. Do you mean that statement or additionally something else?

Regards,
