Excerpt

JRE libraries are missing or not compatible

Error message while installing 32-bit lmadmin on 64-bit multi-arch Linux system.

The error message is misleading, the solution to fix it, is to install the 32-bit libraries.


In Redhat/CentOS/Fedora:

Code Block
sudo yum install redhat-lsb-core.i686


In recent Ubuntu use:

Code Block
sudo apt-get install libc6-i386
apt-get update
sudo apt-get install lsb-core


In older Ubuntu use:


Code Block
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386
sudo apt-get install lsb-core

No such file or directory running lmadmin

That may mean that you are missing the correct Linux Standard Base (LSB) library.

Also, it may mean that you are using a 64-bit executable in a 32-bit system and vice versa.

Install the Linux Standard Base (LSB) libraries to fix it.

libssl.so.1.0.0 library required running lmadmin

lmadmin 11.17.0 comes with libssl.so.* in its installation directory.
You need to add these libraries in lmadmin directory to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

e.g. if your lmadmin installation is at /opt/FNPLicenseServerManager then adding it to the path would look like this:

Code Block
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/FNPLicenseServerManager

lmadmin won't start

If you install lmadmin on a Linux-based system when logged on as root, you may encounter various issues. For example:

  •  When you try to launch the Web server (http://localhost:port) on the license server, you encounter an "Unable to connect" error.
  •  When you attempt to run the license server, you may encounter the following errors:
No Format
  10:43:19 (cameo) Vendor daemon can't talk to lmgrd (Cannot read data from license server system. (-16,287))
  10:43:20 (cameo) EXITING DUE TO SIGNAL 37 Exit reason 5

In Web.log:

No Format
[08:08:08 2018] [warn] pid file /opt/FNPLicenseServerManager/logs/lmadmin.pid overwritten -- Unclean shutdown of previous Apache run?
[08:08:08 2018] [alert] getpwuid: couldn't determine user name from uid 4294967295, you probably need to modify the User directive
  •  A process listing for lmadmin ('ps aux | grep lmadmin') returns no results.
  •  A process listing for cameo ('ps aux|grep cameo') returns results if run right after lmadmin is started but then fails after a few seconds. If you view the cameo.log file in the logs directory (the default location is /opt/FNPLicenseServerManager/logs), you see that the process failed with the following error messages:
No Format
 07:55:17 (cameo) Report log started (cameo/report.log).
 07:55:27 (cameo) Vendor daemon can't talk to lmgrd (Cannot read data from license server system. (-16,287))
 07:55:27 (cameo) EXITING DUE TO SIGNAL 37 Exit reason 5

Therefore, when you are installing lmadmin on a Linux-based system, it is recommended that you avoid installing as root. If you have already installed lmadmin when logged on as root and you do not want to reinstall lmadmin, change the ownership of all of the files in the installed folder from root to another user

'Can't make directory' error running lmgrd

Can't make directory /usr/tmp/.flexlm, errno: 2(No such file or directory).


This means that directory /usr/tmp used by lmgrd is missing on your system (usually on Ubuntu systems). This error does not impact license checkout.

The solution to fix it is to create a symbolic link /usr/tmp pointing to /tmp:

Code Block
ln -s /tmp /usr/tmp

You have no permission to install lmadmin in that directory

Make sure the lmadmin installer has read/write access.

Code Block
chmod 755 lmadmin

or

Code Block
chmod -R 755 folder_containing_lmadmin

to give read/write privileges to all files within a folder.

 

Then run lmadmin using sudo:

Code Block
sudo ./<lmadmin_installer>
