New flexlm tools are compiled for Linux Standard Base, if you don't have the lsb-core package installed you will see this error.

To fix:
sudo apt-get install lsb-core

Thank you ginggs, in our network it makes anslic_admin work well on all the computers, including the ubuntu ones.


As a matter of fact, in my network another license-related problem appeared because I had 64bits machines using ansys mounted from a 32bit file server. When I installed ansys 64bits on the 32bit file server, everything seemed to work well (with a warning that the 64bit version is not suitable for the current 32bit machine), but the installer forgot to copy the files from
ansys_inc/shared_files/licensing/linx64/update
to
ansys_inc/shared_files/licensing/linx64
(those files are essential license utilities such as ansysli_client, in their 64bit version)

That made workbench unable to get a license (whereas the standalone Fluent gets it normally!). Workbench starts, displays :
Local server exited or could not read local server port ANSYSLI_LOCAL_PORT
in a popup, and is then only usable for tasks that don't need a license, ie almost nothing...

for me the solution was to issue the following commands on the file server, from the directory containing ansys_inc :
sudo mv ansys_inc/shared_files/licensing/linx64/update/* ansys_inc/shared_files/licensing/linx64
sudo rmdir ansys_inc/shared_files/licensing/linx64/update

I would like to ask another question regarding Workbench itself now, running on ubuntu. A colleague of mine will need it for his work, so he requested me to check if Ansys 13 workbench works on our PC.

The PC has Ubuntu 8.10 x64. Licensing is ok, through FlexLM, CFX and fluent modules operate normally, also I deleted the .ansys and .config/ANSYS folders from the Home directory, to avoid the QPixmap error.

Now the problem is that after workbench loads, it gives the following error :

Could not connect to local server :
24800@localhost

and there is no available analysis, even if we have licenses available (something like the problem that appears here but on windows 7 : http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ans...h-problem.html).

What this could be ? Does it have anything to Linux Standard Base ? (Unfortunately I cant download it through synaptic, or sudo apt-get since support has been dropped for Ubuntu 8.10, thus no files are found).

Also my hosts file is the following :

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 fivos-desktop


# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhostsglibc-2.12-1
ldd --version

Is there anything with it ?

Any ideas are appreciated.

Bad news.
The same CCL validation failure messages experienced by many users on various distros appeared to me on OpenSUSE 11.4 too.

I'm surprised there is such difficulty with OpenSUSE 11.4 considering SUSE 11 is supposed to be an officially supported distro. I'm curious if it's a Motif vs. Open Motif difference. I believe that's one difference between SUSE and OpenSUSE.
