I've been having the exact same problems flarefox had before he reinstalled. I, however, had a working install just a few weeks ago (and possibly even a few days ago, but because I didn't use the program for a while I can't really tell). Anyway, when I tried loading up Houdini again a few days ago I had the exact same symptoms as flarefox described. I've also tried everything in this thread, but so far nothing has worked.

The only difference I've seen in flarefox's situation and mine (apart from rh 7 installs not working here) was that I didn't have this line when ldd'ing hmaster:libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0xb4d07000)

Every other program I run from commandline seems to work; mplay works, hkey works, hmaster-ng works, it's just hmaster that won't boot up.

The only reason I can think of that which might explain why houdini stopped working, would be that I installed or removed something. But being the freshling I am, I have no idea what I'm looking for, so any clue anyone could give me would be greatly appreciated.
