Executing lmgrd command to start Rational License Server results in error "No such file or directory"

Troubleshooting


Problem

Attempts to execute lmgrd command to start IBM Rational License Server results in the error "No such file or directory".

Symptom

The full error message is as follows:

/opt/ibm/RationalRLKS/base/cots/flexlm.11.8/i386_linux2/lmgrd: No such file or directory

Cause

Required library files are missing from the /lib directory

Diagnosing The Problem

Verify if the following library files are present under the /lib folder:

  • Linux x86: /lib/ld-lsb.so.3
  • Linux PPC:
    /lib/ld-lsb.so.3 for Rational License Key Server version 8.1.2 and earlier
    /lib/ld-lsb-ppc32.so.3 for Rational License Key Server version 8.1.3 and later

Resolving The Problem

Create a softlink using the following procedure on the respective IBM Rational License Server installed machine to create the library files manually if it doesn't exist:

  • Linux x86

    Execute the following command through root login:

    ln -s /lib/ld.so.1 /lib/ld-lsb.so.3

  • Linux PPC

    For IBM Rational License Key Server version 8.1.3 and later and to update to version 8.1.3, execute the following command through root or sudo login:

    ln -s /lib/ld.so.1 /lib/ld-lsb-ppc32.so.3


    For IBM Rational License Key Server version 8.1.2 and earlier, execute the following command through root or sudo login:

    ln -s /lib/ld.so.1 /lib/ld-lsb.so.3

    Note: These commands create softlinks to an existing linker file /lib/ld.so.1. If /lib/ld.so.1 does not exist on your machine, you can use any other ld file in /lib directory.
