After installing Houdini, you may come across this error. This error appears in the Terminal; if you open it from the application launcher, you maybe be getting this error, but it does not show in any way.

<pre class="wp-block-code">```
munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer
Aborted (core dumped)

The solution to this error is to set the environment variable of `LD_PRELOAD`, as given below.
```
export LD_PRELOAD="/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc_malloc_debug.so.0"
```
```

You can restart Houdini after setting the environment variables above.
