Edit: I have resolved this issue. The cause was my /etc/hosts file not including the name of the machine. After adding the machine name to the hosts file all is well.

I am attempting to run StarCCM+ 8.04.010 on scientific linux 6.4. I can check out a copy from the power on demand server. It seems that once the server tries to start a host on my machine it fails.

The final command I see in the output window is: Server::start -host Orion:47827 Orion being the name of my local machine.

After several minutes of waiting I get a java error, java.net.UnknownHostException: Orion

There are several lines of traceback in this error message, copied in full below. I don't know how to resolve this issue. I've tried reinstalling several times, both double and single precision, and nothing seems to work. I feel like the error is with the JDK and not with StarCCM+ directly, but the java install is packed with the .bin.

That said, StarCCM+ seems to think it is using java 1.6 and my console tells me I have java 1.7 installed.
