I first tried some of the various fixes I googled for houdini+gentoo, but i quickly realized that sesinetd never got copied to /etc/init.d/, nor did sesictrl go to /usr/lib/sesi/. I'm not sure what else didn't make it to where it's supposed to go. :?
I have tried copying those files to their intended destinations and then going by some of the tips posted here (for example Ben Simon's) but still no luck. I've also started sesinetd and hserver by hand, however hkey refuses to serve licences.
Any tips on how to fix her up would be greatly appreciated.
