Hi,

I have successfully installed and run Houdini 9.0 on Ubuntu 7.04.

I installed it via “sudo”

When I tried to install the hdk, via hdkinstall, I have problem doing that with “sudo”

Is there a solution?

I could relax the permission on the directory and do a hdkinstall via a normal user previlege but I thought I'd asked.

Regards

A workaround is to manually run “sudo hdkinstall” after the regular installation process.

That's precisely what I did and it failed as described earlier.

I am wondering if it is a ubuntu specific problem.

Er, what exactly fails? If you run it with sudo, then you're running it as root, which has permission to do everything …

You need to set up the runtime environment, so

sudo -s # (type in password)
cd /opt/hfs9.whatever
. houdini_setup
hdkinstall
