Installation Instructions:
Unpack the tar/gzip file in a working directory and copy the .so or .dll files to 1) $HOME/houndini9.5/dso or 2) $HFS/houdini9.5/dso or 3) some other location and you set the appropriate environment variables. The real_flow_demo.hip file contains a few simple examples of using the plugins to tranfer data between Real Flow and Houdini. To ensure that all of the custom components, toolbars, icons, and DSO/DLL files will load correctly, be sure to set the $HOUDINI_PATH and $HOUDINI_DSO_PATH variables in a fashion similar to (your site requirements may vary):

setenv HOUDINI_PATH $HFS/houdini:$HOME/houdini9.5:$JOB/houdini:./houdini
setenv HOUDINI_DSO_PATH $HFS/houdini/dso:$HOME/houdini9.5/dso:$JOB/houdini/dso:./houdini/dso

To check to see if the DSO/DLL has loaded, you may also use the "dsoinfo -s" command either in the Houdini textport or from hscript:

pluto mstory-203% hscript
hscript Version 8.1.704 (Compiled on 08/25/06)
/ -> dsoinfo -s
>> SOPs
rf_import C:/DOCUME~1/mstory/MYDOCU~1/houdini8.1/dso/SOP_RF_Import.dll
rf_export C:/DOCUME~1/mstory/MYDOCU~1/houdini8.1/dso/SOP_RF_Export.dll
/ ->
