softimage_opensuse_XGetRequest

[Eric Gunther]

I have been contacted by autodesk, systems support, hopefully they can work this out with me.

I will update the thread after I talk to them.

Although I have looked at the ln and ldd man page quite a few times throughout this process but I would not say I have read them.

I don't know if that is the case because I added the Xorg rpm repository where it was, and updated and tried softimage;
then reinstalled softimage, still not working.

The Autodesk license server needs a license which needs to be generated by Autodesk

Softimage wont run without it.

I will look into that

I believe that I did just now and still the same issue.

I meant to say that it was a program that comes with the computer so is not something that you are likely to be familiar with.

Oh, OK.

Yeah, didn't know that, although you do have to use tcsh.
