LICENSE: Lmgrd on Linux Fails with "No such file or directory"

Information in this knowledgebase article applies to:

• Keil MDK version 4.60 or later

SYMPTOM

Downloading the FlexNet Publisher Binaries for Linux as described here and installing them worked as expected. But when trying to start the FlexNet License daemon lmgrd on the Linux server, the program aborts and prints:

lmgrd: No such file or directory

What does this mean and what needs to be done to get the lmgrd working?

CAUSE

A possible reason is the missing Linux Standard Base (LSB) components which are required by the lmgrd. To check, if the requirements are installed, the following commands can be executed:

$ ldd lmgrd
        linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007fffeafef000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007f5ba86fb000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0x00007f5ba83f2000)
        libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007f5ba81dc000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007f5ba7e12000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f5ba7c0e000)
        /lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3 => /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f5ba8918000)
$ ls -l /lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3
ls: cannot access '/lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3': No such file or directory

As seen, the '/lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3' is missing.

RESOLUTION

Check with your Linux distribution documentation, how to install the LSB packages. One way to do this is to enter the following command from root:

 apt-get install lsb

When LSB is installed, the ls command reports:

$ ls -l /lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Aug 17 12:21 /lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3 -> ld-linux-x86-64.so.2

As '/lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3' is now available, lmgrd should run and the license server configuration can be done/finished.
