After Installing Octane_2022.1.1.1 Axiom won't load

I'm having issues getting both Axiom and Octane to load. If I comment out the 3 lines of code that load Octane in the ENV file it will load. Octane works but it doesn't load axiom if enabled.

This is usually a problem in the houdini.env configuration file. You must define a single environment variable to include all the plugin paths separated by semicolons. The definition of the same variable twice or more doesn't work.

Hey Juanjo,

would you mind posting a quick example of how to place several paths into the same houdini.env file?
Your help would be much appreciated!

Thank you,
Gregor

Hi Gregor,

are you trying to have multiple different octane plugin paths in the same env file? If so, then I am pretty sure that would try load all the plugins and give an API error.

Hey Ricky,

thank you for getting back to me!
No, I wasn't trying to have multiple version of Octane installed.
Even though it would be a fun experiment having Octane and Octane for Solaris installed simultaneously.

I was more so referring to what the OP asked - if I add the two lines to the Houdini.env, everything works as expected.
However, once I insert another line for a different plugin in there, I get an error.

Could you post an example of what Juanjo was getting at? Like, putting multiple lines in one and use semicolons as divider?

Thank you!

Hi Gregor, I think he meant something like this:

Code: Select all

HOUDINI_PATH = "C:/path/to/a/plugin1;C:/path/to/a/plugin2;&"
Let me know if that works for you.
