Thanks for Must(QQ ID)'s big help for installing Houdini in CentOS7.

- unzip and untar to /home/user0/tools/sidefx/HOUDINI_FX_V12.5.371_LINUX_X64_GCC44-XFORCE
- setup
$su
#/home/user0/tools/sidefx/HOUDINI_FX_V12.5.371_LINUX_X64_GCC44-XFORCE/houdini-12.5.371-linux_x86_64_gcc4.4/houdini.inistall
you can see [1] for more details
- crack
- stop Houdini License Server
/etc/init.d/sesinetd stop
- replace sesinetd:
#rm /usr/lib/sesi/sesinetd
#cp /home/user0/tools/sidefx/HOUDINI_FX_V12.5.371_LINUX_X64_GCC44-XFORCE/sesinetd /usr/lib/sesi/
#chmod 777 /usr/lib/sesi/sesinetd
-restart Houdini License Server
#/etc/init.d/sesinetd stop
#/etc/init.d/sesinetd start
- regist
- Applications>Side Effects Software>License Administrator>Server Information, record your Server host and Server Code
-
#/home/user0/tools/sidefx/HOUDINI_FX_V12.5.371_LINUX_X64_GCC44-XFORCE/houdini12_5keygen-linux
input your Server host and Server Code,
it will list many messsage like this:
SERVER .....
LICENSE Generic Houdini-Master .....
- copy these lines(at least 5 lines) into License Administrator, one line each time.
NOTE: You MUST input the line "SERVER ...." first.
- start Houdini
On my Thinkpad t430 the shader on default object, e.g. box or sphere, is black. And if I try to move the object, Houdini crashes.
I find this post [2], it says that the crash is caused by display driver issue.
Then I set BIOS>Config>Display> use discrete card.
It works well now.
