FLEXlm license manager 2.0 installer may fail using dash

Fri, 20 Jan 2012 15:00:00 -0800

Installation of the new Intel® License Manager for FLEXlm* version 2.0 for Linux* (released Janaury 2012) may fail with syntax errors when being executed under the dash.

Check the /bin/sh link which shell it actually links to, for example

$ ls -al /bin/sh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2010-05-27 16:10 /bin/sh -> dash

If it links to the dash (as shown above) you may solve the issue with one of the following:

Solution 1: Link /bin/sh to bash
(at least for the time of installation; requires (sudo) root rights), for example

# rm /bin/sh
# ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh

Solution 2: Replace the Shebang line in the install script
Edit file Intel_INSTALL and
replace
#!/bin/sh
by
#!/bin/bash

FLEXlm License Manager 2.0 may fail when LSB 3 is not met

Thu, 12 Jan 2012 15:00:00 -0800

With the new Intel® License Manger for FLEXlm* version 2.0 for Linux* (released January 2012) you may encounter problems due to the lack of Linux Standard Base (LSB) compliance on your system. The Intel License Manager requires LSB compliance version 3 or higher.

More info about LSB support can be found here.

The problems seen are the following:

1) IA32 Systems

Starting the license manager lmgrd issues the error:

   -bash: ./lmgrd: /lib/ld-lsb.so.3: bad ELF interpreter: No such file or directory

Solution: Add LSB support to your operating system. As a quick workaround you may create the LSB linker/loader shared library manually as a symblic link to the Linux dynamic linker/loader shared library, for example (requires (sudo) root rights):

   # ln -s /lib/ld-linux.so.2 /lib/ld-lsb.so.3

2) Intel64® Systems

The product installer Intel_INSTALL issues an error:

   flexlm$ ./Install_INTEL
   *** Error: installed software will not run; package might be for the wrong platform, or corrupted

There may be other reasons causing that error, but one of them may missing LSB support on your system.

Solution: Check your system whether LSB is installed by running
   $ lsb_release
on any shell. If it returns info about LSB packages (core-3*, graphics-3*, desktop-3*, cxx-3* etc.), your system may be LSB 3 compliant. Addationally you could check whether the lsb linker/loader shared library is present on your system, for example:
   $ ls -al /lib64/ | grep linux
   lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Oct 17 11:07 ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 -> ld-2.5.so

If the LSB linker/loader shared library ls-lsb-x86-64.so.3 is not present, add LSB support to your operating system. As a quick workaround you may create the LSB linker/loader library manually as a symblic link to the Linux dynamic linker/loader library, for example (requires (sudo) root rights):

   # ln -s /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 /lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3

Error : Failed to enable trusted storage check for licensing

Problem :
When using the compiler you see the following error message

"error #10310: Failed to enable trusted storage check for licensing: Warning" Enable Trusted Storage failed (flexnet error code 20). Trusted Storage based licence could "

Environment :
Intel(R) 64 , IA32, Windows* 7, Linux*

Root Cause :
Windows*: Service “FLEXnet Licensing Service 64” can not be installed by non-administrator users on Windows 7.
Linux* : The library path being not set.

Windows* Workaround:

Run icl as administrator once.

Steps:
1. Go to start -> All Programs -> Intel(R) Software Development Tools -> Intel(R) C++ Compiler Professional 11.1.0xx > C++ Build Environment for application running on Intel(R) 64
2. run command:

runas /user:administrator "icl /v"

You will be prompted to input administrator’s password. This step will trigger icl to install the Windows service “FLEXnet Licensing Service 64”.

Linux* Workaround:

Set the paths using command below. Use source or . , depending on your shell.

'source /bin/compilervars.sh '

or

' . /bin/compilervars.sh '

where is ia32 or intel64
