When I installed Houdini Apprentice, in Red Hat Linux 7.3, and configured the environment (via the houdini_setup) hkey warned me that it couldn't connect to the hserver.
Is it a network conflict? If so, I don't understand. Because my ethernet configuration seems to work fine.
Also, do I require a special Apprentice license? (If so, and where/how do I aquire this?)
[Apprentice & Linux] hkey won't run

Hello Calosus,
Is the license server running? I had the same problem with my Debian installation.
If not, try to run ./sesinetd in /etc/init.d/ or /usr/lib/sesi/
When you start an application of the Houdini family (hmaster, hselect etc.) and no license is installed on the server, a popup will come up asking you if you want to install a non-commercial version. You must have an open internet connection to do this.

Hi Marco,
You don't need to be superuser to run Houdini. You do need to be superuser when you install Houdini which you've done.
With regards to your problem, please re-install the license tools only & then try to start Houdini. If you don't get the download license pop-up, may I know have you installed the latest graphics card drivers?
If you're using a GeForce/Quadro card, please go to Nvidia's website [nvidia.com]. If you're using a FireGL, please go to ATI's website [ati.com].
I hope the above helps!
Cheers!

I installed those drivers. At first, they seemed to have effect. But after I rebooted, I couldn't access X anymore… Since then I've been fooling around in the terminal, trying to correct things.
Damn, this is pretty frustrating! I had everything running so nicely and I wouldn't want to reinstall it again.
