The Distant Light node doesn't working in solaris.

I have the same problem, new version of octane(2023.1.3.2) in solaris(20.5.278), instancer node doesn't work.

Finally，solved the problem!

This problem is caused neither by the version of houdini nor by the version of octane, but by the version of python! When install 2023.1.3.1 of octane in 20.0.724 of Houdini solaris, make sure the houdini is py 3.10! You can use Houdini Launcher install "default" Houdini ...

]
}


But the error still exists, there ...
