I have re-installed the license server, but this does not seem to have any effect on the hserver problems,
i added some lines into my .cshrc file to re-load the hserver and set it to the hostname of ‘linux’
this works perfectly if i reboot once uses the license server to ‘linux’, but after multiple reboots it trys to pick up the license server as ‘linux=’
is this a problem with SuSE linux??
would houdini run better on Mandrake or RedHat??

I'm having troubles with houdini again,
it installs perfectly fine and runs fine, but for some reason everytime i start houdini i have to restart hserver and sesientd
is there anything i can do so that i do not have to do this each time??
also can i do away with the source houdini_setup command? is there a file i can put this text in so it will run on start-up/login??
thanx for your time and help

Hi Rikki,
d. Next, we'll start the license server. Please type '/usr/lib/sesi/sesinetd.startup start' in the shell. If the license server started without any errors, please start Houdini.
If all goes well, you'll get a message saying you do not have a license & asking whether you would like to download one. Please make sure you're connected to the internet before downloading the license.
all goes fine, exepct for when i start houidni, it asks me to install a license and when i click install a non -commerical license i get the message localhost is not a valid machine name.
lucas here are the following when i type what you said
ping linux:: unknown host linux
cat /etc/hosts:: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
hostname:: localhost.localdomain
i do not have an ethernet card installed could thjis be the problem?? i am getting one soon, to create a small network, will it be better for me to install houdini on a networked machine?? so that the machine keeps the same IP?
edward i use a 56k dialup connection to connect to the internet, yes i have a dynamic IP

I'll post that as soon as i get on my home computer later today,
if it is a network connections problem do you have any suggestions that i could try?
Also on an un-related note,
After putting my machine onto the work network, when taking it home (without the network card in) and unconfiguring all of the proxies, my machine connects to the internet fine (dial-up) but none of my apps pick up on the connection, is there anything else i need to do to stop thinking that it is on a network.
this is in Mandrake 8.2

Thank you for your reply I am using Mandrake 8.2
have also tried this on SuSE 8.0 (with SuSE i get no activity at all after typing houdini or hkey)
Source houdini_setup works fine on both Distro's giving the my result of
'The Houdini Environment has been initialized'
I am using a bash shell but i change it to cShell by typing csh at the first prompt
yes i am Using a DHCP internet connection,
I am beginning to think that the problem is with my graphics card or drivers, because houdini works perfectly with a system on the same network as my machine with the exact same setup(internet connection network card), but an on-board graphics adapter.

Hi, I have the houdini apprentice version,
and am trying to install in linux, kernel version 2.4.18
My PC is an Athlon XP 1800+ with 320Mb RAM, GeForce 3 Ti200 graphics card using the Nvidia drivers (which are working because i get the nvidia splash screen)
Houdini installs perfectly fine,
the only problems arrise after source houdini_setup when trying to run houdini or hkey
when running houdini i get the following displayed in my shell
Application data saved to /tmp/riksruin.ada.hip
Spawn Error: : No such file or directory
Error running xmessage
Argument list:
0: xmessage
1: License Error: Unable to connect to hserver for license acuisition
and when running hkey it tells me that the server location on (hostname) is invalid, i have tried re-installing with several different hostnames still with the same problem
does anyone know what could be causing this problem,
Thanx for any help in advance
Rikki
