Houdini install successful
Installing: Toolkit
hostname: Unknown host
Houdini 9.1 Installation completed.
——-

could somebody please explain to me what does that means? I get this message when I'm trying to install houdini license tools (as “root” user)
houdini itself installs fine, but it seems that license service (and all license files etc.) are not installed

I have Fedora 8 64bit

Thanks!

Check your /etc/hosts file, it should have at least two lines like this:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.0.1 myhostname.domain myhostname

Myhostname is the name of your computer and domain cna be your lan domain name (if you have it).

thanks, I did that and it seems that something has changed… But right now I have another problem, during license tools installation it shows me this:

Checking for running server… It has to be stopped before
we can install the new version
Stopping Houdini License server/usr/lib/sesi/sesictrl: /lib64/libz.so.1: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/sesi/sesictrl)
Stopping Houdini License server/usr/lib/sesi/sesictrl: /lib64/libz.so.1: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/sesi/sesictrl)
Stopping Houdini License server/usr/lib/sesi/sesictrl: /lib64/libz.so.1: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/sesi/sesictrl)
…………….. and so on, I guess it's attempting to stop license server
…………………………………………….
FAILED


I have checked - there are multiple libz.so files in /lib/, /lib64, /opt/hfs9.1.179/dsolib/ and usr/lib folders

Check if the server is running (sesinetd). If it is restart it (just to check if the server gives any errors): /etc/rc.d/seisnetd start or /etc/init.d/sesinetd start. You have to do this as root ofcourse.

The warnings aren't the problem, i get them too.
