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

- download HOUDINI_FX_V12.5.371_LINUX_X64_GCC44-XFORCE

- 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.
