Linux FlexNet lmgrd Symptom
Downloading the Abaqus FlexNet Installation Files for Linux (Part_SIMULIA_FlexNet – SIMULIA Abaqus 20xx FP.CFA.2xxx – Linux64) here and installing them worked as expected. But when trying to start the FlexNet License daemon lmgrd on the Linux server, the program aborts and prints:
lmgrd: No such file or directory
Linux FlexNet lmgrd issues Cause
A possible reason is the missing Linux Standard Base (LSB) components which are required by the lmgrd. To check, if the requirements are installed, the following commands can be executed:
$ ldd lmgrd
linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fffeafef000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007f5ba86fb000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0x00007f5ba83f2000)
libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007f5ba81dc000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007f5ba7e12000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f5ba7c0e000)
/lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3 => /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f5ba8918000)
$ ls -l /lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3
ls: cannot access ‘/lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3’: No such file or directory
As seen, the ‘/lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3’ is missing.
Linux FlexNet lmgrd Resolution
Check with your Linux distribution documentation, how to install the LSB packages. One way to do this is to enter the following command from root:
apt-get install lsb
When LSB is installed, the ls command reports:
$ ls -l /lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Aug 17 12:21 /lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3 -> ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
As ‘/lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3’ is now available, lmgrd should run and the license server configuration can be done/finished.
As stated before for every Linux release the LSB packages can be different. For Red Hat the right one is redhat-lsb-core.
