To get redshift solaris working on linux you need to source it on the system level before opening houdini.

In your .bashrc put these lines.

cd /opt/hfs19.5 && source houdini_setup_bash && cd

export PXR_PLUGINPATH_NAME=/usr/redshift/redshift4solaris/$HOUDINI_VERSION

Then you can run houdini from the terminal and it will work.

For multiple versions you can be explicit and say: export PXR_PLUGINPATH_NAME=/usr/redshift/redshift4solaris/<your_houdini_version>

The only problem with this now is that you’ll need to source houdini_setup first in bash_profile in order for $HOUDINI_VERSION to work.
