Troubleshooting
Problem
Attempts to execute FLEXlm binaries (lmstat, lmutil, lmver) result in the error "cannot execute binary file".
Cause
A mismatch of architecture types in UNIX / Linux.
- There are different architectures such as x86, PowerPC (PPC) (for Linux) and SPARC (for Solaris), and each of them has a designed installer.
Diagnosing The Problem
You can verify the mismatch in architecture types between the installer and the actual machine by the following steps:
- Execute uname -a on the UNIX / Linux machine to display the OS along with the architecture.
- Match the OS and architecture with that of the installer that was downloaded
Resolving The Problem
Once the architecture difference is verified, apply the following:
- Remove the installation of Rational License Server from the UNIX / Linux server machine
- Download the correct installer from the Passport Advantage website
- Install the License Server using the license_setup script and follow the steps to complete the installation
