It is a display problem, I suspect it is not specific to XSI. Can you run any graphical program (firefox, for example) from the same prompt?
Another possibility here is that you might be trying to run XSI as root. Can you try starting XSI as a normal user? This is how it should be run, anyway. -----Original Message----- From: softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com [mailto:softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com] On Behalf Of Eric Gunther Sent: Sunday, January 13, 2013 3:47 AM To: softimage@listproc.autodesk.com Subject: Re: installing on opensuse64 12.1 Hi, Thank You very much for the reply:: *me*@*here*:/usr/Softimage/Softimage_2011/Application/bin> ./xsi Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified xset: unable to open display ":0" Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified xset: unable to open display ":0" Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified xset: unable to open display ":0" hostname: Name or service not known Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified Cannot open X display ":0". *me*@*here*:/usr/Softimage/Softimage_2011/Application/bin> -e On Sat, 2013-01-12 at 14:39 -0500, Stephen Blair wrote: > Hi > > There's always an error in the setup log. > What happened when you tried to run XSI? > > Here's a thread about installing on linux (fedora mostly) > https://groups.google.com/d/topic/xsi_list/_oBqQwXZKAw/discussion > > > On 12/01/2013 2:26 PM, Eric Gunther wrote: > > I want to install > > Autodesk_Softimage_2011_English_Linux_64bit_r1.tar.gz > > > > on opensuse 12.1, but have not been successful. > > > > Is there someone who can provide me generic step by step > > installation tips?
