Troubleshooting


Problem

This technote explains why the IBM® Rational® ClearCase® clearmake utility fails to build on Sun® Solaris® using Sun Workshop 5.0 along with instructions to resolve the problem.

Symptom

These symptoms may be experienced:

  • Attempts to perform a build on Solaris using clearmake with Sun Workshop 5.0 can result in errors like this:

    • %> clearmake
           /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc -c foo.c

    License : Server (flexlic) not responding still trying
    Cannot read data from license server
    Feature:workshop.c.sparc
    Hostname:flexlic
    FLEXlm error:-16,287.  System Error: 22    Invalid argument


    OR

    License Error : Cannot find the license server (license1)                  


            in the network database for product(Sun WorkShop Compiler C++)

    clearmake: Error: Build script failed for "cmdbuilder.o"
  • Errors using ATTOL tool in combination with ClearMake.
    1. When attolprepro calls the licence manually, the corresponding license is correctly used.
    2. However, when using clearmake, this error appears:
      ATTOL Testware - License manager: FLEXlm error, Cannot read license file data from server

      No authorized use

      ***Error code 7
