javascript:emoticon(%27%3AD%27)Hi there!!

My installation of Houdini Apprentice seems to be OK, but when I try to start the program, the opening screen flashes at me, but then goes away in about 3 seconds. I first thought the problem might be that I was trying to run it on Mandrake 9.0, since it was written for RedHat - but since you get it to work, that can't be the problem.

I wrote the scripts and put them in the /root directory, because on my computer I run it on /root all the time - as I am constantly downloading and trying out new software. I am a computer animation teacher for 9th grade students in Texas. My lab computers are new Dells running Mandrake 9.0. I am so excited to discover Houdini Apprentice and hope to get it running in the lab so we can use it after the holidays.

Help!!

I have used Linux for 5 years now, but my knowledge base has holes in it as I am really only a simple end user.

Thanks!!

Marilyn
