Gentoo 1.4

One solution is to just forget about the links the setup script is trying to create (you will get error messages about missing directories, but that doesn't matter, sesinetd will get installed anyway), and to create a file called "sesinetd" (you could name it whatever you like, just be sure the name in the rc-update command below matches) in /etc/init.d with the following content:

#!/sbin/runscript

depend() {
          use logger
}

start() {
          ebegin "Starting sesinetd"
          /usr/lib/sesi/sesinetd.startup start
          eend $? "Failed to start sesinetd"
}

stop() {
          killall sesinetd
          eend $? "Faild to stop sesinetd"
}

(copy and paste didn't work, so i had to type this by hand, hope there are no typos..)

and then just run "rc-update add sesinetd default" as root to add this script to your default runlevel.

Now the license server gets started at boot time.

another solution is here

What I did was create all the missing directories. I can't remember what they all were, it was like

etc/rc.d

etc/rc.d/init.d

etc/rc.d/rc1.d

etc/rc.d/rc2.d

etc/rc.d/rc3.d

etc/rc.d/rc4.d

etc/rc.d/rc5.d

although as noted above, the directories probably aren't necessary, expecially since I use this script to start Houdini or Escape. I just created them because I was having trouble getting the license server to work initially, and I though maybe these directories were the problem.

#!/bin/tcsh

cd /usr/lib/sesi
./sesinetd.startup start
cd /usr/hfs6.1
source houdini_setup
houdini #or hescape

The license server doesn't start when my machine starts. I start it when I am actually running the software.
