 |
|
i managed to install houdini apprentice in gentoo with the following instructions
| Code: | mkdir /etc/rcX.d
ln -s /etc /etc/rc.d
ln -s /etc/rcX.d /etc/rc1.d
ln -s /etc/rcX.d /etc/rc2.d
ln -s /etc/rcX.d /etc/rc3.d
ln -s /etc/rcX.d /etc/rc4.d
ln -s /etc/rcX.d /etc/rc5.d
tar -zxvf hfs-6.0.286-linux7.tar.gz
cd Linux7 |
this will allow you install houdini, and the sesinetd license server, but will fail to start the license server
#do the following while it's prompting that it's loading the license server configuration,or after you see it fail to obtain the information, because then it's practically done but failed to start the service
| Code: | | /etc/init.d/sesinetd start |
then proceed to obtain license keys
| Code: |
tcsh
cd /usr/hfs6
source houdini_setup
hkey |
go to File>Manually insert keys and go to http://license.sidefx.com/get_nc_license.php
enter Server name and Server Code as shown in Server Information tab
the Server should now be fully operational, so start houdini
you could do the following, so you don't have to start the license server manually all the time
| Code: | | rc-update add sesinetd default |
to make life easier put one of these scripts in /usr/bin for each program, hhalo, houdini, hselect, hescape, hkey, and make it executable with chmod 755 /usr/bin/houdini. replace "houdini" with the program name but leave "source houdini_setup" the same in all scripts.
| Code: | #! /bin/tcsh -f
cd /usr/hfs6/
source houdini_setup
houdini

works for me

You're my Hero! I've been dual booting to mandrake just to make houdini work! Thank you!
on a side note to keep it working after reboot i had to make a fakesesi init script:
depend() {
after xdm
}
start() {
ebegin "Starting Sesinetd"
/etc/init.d/sesinetd start
eend $? "Sesi died argh..."
}
stop() {
ebegin "Stopping Sesinetd"
/etc/init.d/sesinetd stop
eend $? "Sesi won't die...Send reinforcemnets...sk..."
}
cause gentoo gripes if I add sesinetd to the initscripts |

Taking the information from here, this is the process that worked for me:
http://www.sidefx.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=14378#14378
This rehashes pretty much all of the information here except states the entire process that worked for me from installing, to getting the license server to start up on reboot to launching houdini.
HTH,
