I installed mandrake 9.2.
I run ./houdini.install, it said:
./houdini.install : line 681: exec: xterm: not found
so it can't be installed…
what is the problem?

Hi,

When I installed Houdini on my Gentoo Linux box I got the same error.
I don't know if this will work for you but here's what I did…..

I opened that houdini.install file in my favorite text editor and jumped to line 681 and remove the word exec on that line. I saved the file and ran setup and houdini installed fine.

If you don't feel like editing to file, maybe try switching to a tshell or Cshell before running setup. I don't know if changing shells will work but it's worth a try

Hope this helps,
