Hi Michael

I have run Houdini on both Mandrake 8.2 and SuSE 8.0,

I am unsure if it will run on SuSE7.2 or earlier, but it deffinatly runs on 8.0 there was a few teething problems with 8.0

i can help out a bit but not for everything

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
