I had that warnings when I ran Ansys 13 on xubuntu 11.04.
But I got rid of it when I used "sudo ./runwb2" instead of ./runwb2.

Still had problem with WB. Known (http://web.archiveorange.com/archive...SQTOMygbxpr5LS) issue with "unable to resolve ...GL..."
And I know that this can be (somehow, maybe) solved with trying to use another OpenGL driver for GPU.

Now I'm gonna try ubuntu 10.04.
Did anybody start Ansys 13 Workbench on ubuntu 10.04.x64 with ATI (fglrx)?
Or is it better stay with open source video driver for ati?

Edit: Ubuntu 10.04x64 + ati fglrx proprietary driver allows start ansys 13 including workbench without warnings. Just add:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/fglrx/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1
(Further testing needed. I'll write if any)

UPDATE: Fedora update kernel to 3.0 so Ansys does not work anymore

Switched to CentOS 6. Everything worked like a charm

In the responses from the users, there are solutions for computers with different graphics drivers.

I do not what this error message means, especially the

from the first line.

Have anybody successfully installed Ansys WB 13 on Ubuntu 11.10 and may help me with this problem?

I found a way to solve this problem，Ansys WB use "uname" command to determine the kernel version, so just use a script change the "uname" output

Bravo, I've been trying that for 2 months without success, on 3 different computers with brand new installations of CentOS 6.2 x86_64. I hardly get help from ansys support because, they say, the supported distro is RHEL6 and not its clone CentOS6....

I've downloaded all the packages indicated in the "installation guide for linux" in "platform instructions" concerning RHEL6, tried a lot of different configurations for Ansys install directory (network or local), graphic drivers, but I always get an Error (indicated in Meshing and Workbench) when I try to update my Meshing component from workbench, or update all from Meshing. It seems that the translation process towards Fluent files fails. For those who understand french, the exact error message is
"L'exportateur de maillage à échoué lors de la conversion, envoyez vos données à votre agent d'assistance technique"

Maybe the trick is that you USE CFX and I try to use FLUENT... Could you try, from Meshing, to export a mesh in fluent format (towards your homedir, for example, in order to leave your project unchanged) ? thank you in advance to tell the result...

That's it! Thanks a lot for your help! Ansys 14.0 now works for me on Ubuntu 11.10. The steps previously mentioned steps have als been performed. For me it was:

You need some base packages

sudo apt-get install xterm libstdc++6-4.4-dev \
libmotif-dev libxtst-dev libxt-dev libzip-dev libxmu-dev \
tcl8.5-dev tk8.5-dev

and

sudo apt-get install lsb

To fix the "GLX ..." error:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/nvidia-current/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1

And to get the solver working:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libXm.so.4.0.3 /usr/lib/libXm.so.3

For Icemcfd, some people recommend to install csh (I did not try that):

sudo apt-get install csh

Hello,

The problems with ccl2flow running cfx5solve isn't not resolved for me in some distros.

ccl2flow: * command language error *
Message: getChildList: unable to find the requested path
Context: returned by cclApi call

I nicely installed ANSYS 13 64bits in OpenSUSE 11.3 (not able in 11.4) and Debian. Now I need to install it in CentoOS 6, I have checked the Installation guide and the hints of. the whole post installing additional libraries ir symbolic links.. but without success.

If someone can help me any information is very very w elcome .

Hi

Would you try to upgrade OS to 6.2? It worked for me.

Cheers

Thanks!

If you are using Ubuntu Precise, setarch has a --uname-2.6 switch which enables the UNAME26 personality.

Example:

setarch x86_64 --uname-2.6 /ansys_inc/v140/Framework/bin/Linux64/runwb2

Hi everyone!

I am using Sabayon Linux (it's a Gentoo based distro).
Do you have any hint to solve my problem (the usual: no hostid shown in flexlm and then no license working) ?
I have all the dependencies (at least I think) and the LSB installation changed nothing (even reinstalling the LicenseManager again after) !!

Any help?

Thank you in advance

R.

I got it working in Arch Linux x64 by making the symlink:

ln -s /lib64/d-linux-x86-64.so.2 /lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3

What messages you get running?

/ansys_inc/shared_files/licensing/linx64/lmgrd

Regards,
Christian

[sedo_5]

Sorry, I don't know why but I cannot run lmgrd file (i've tryed both as root and as normal user, via terminal, no way...)
I've made the symlink you did but nothing changed after a re-installation, the hostid is still not visible (don't know if it's a libs problem)

Are you getting?

 ./lmgrd: No such file or directory

What Ansys version you are installing?

Try run,

readelf /ansys_inc/shared_files/licensing/linx64/lmgrd -l

And look for "Requesting program interpreter: /lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3" or sort of.
Ensure that lib exists.

Are you have glibc installed, both 64bits and 32bits?

Regards,
Christian

[sedo_5]

Hi christianc and thank you for your interest!

1) yes, when I try to launch lmgrd I get " ./lmgrd: No such file or directory" , I am trying to install ansys 13...am I missing something about the version?

2) the output to the readelf command gives (apart from a bunch of incomprehensible things for me) [Requesting program interpreter: /lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3] ; checking my libs I get:

$ ls -l |grep ld-lsb
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root      26 25 mag 11.53 ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3 -> /lib64/d-linux-x86-64.so.2

I have the same result both in /lib and /lib64 , not in /lib32 ...could another symlnk there work ?
(ps: the arrow should means a symlink to another lib)

3) glibc is installed (both 32 and 64, as in the distro I use (sabayon) there's a unique package)

4) just another note: I have installed (and reinstalled several times to check my changes to libs and packages) the ansys packages with the "-noroot" option, but I had the same problem also when I tried to install it as root...could this represent a problem? (the ansys documentation says that it shouldn't change anything)

thanks in advance

Hi Renzo,

I'm pretty sure that is a lib problem.

Do you mean in your ls output

d-linux-x86-64.so.2

or it's just a typo? Recall that must be ld-linux-x86-64.so.2

Otherwise, I can't see nothing wrong.

Regards,
Christian

[sedo_5]

No, it's not a typo !
Anyway, I've just made a symlink with this command:

ln -s ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 /lib64/d-linux-x86-64.so.2

Honestly, I don't know if this could represent a problem...let's see if it solves something
---------
EDIT: incredible...I reinstalled the LM and finally it shows the correct HostID!
great!

[sedo_5]

Sorry to write another post...
Ok, the LM seems to work fine, all the servers are running and every diagnostics returns convincing values.

Anyway, I don't know why, I cannot run the applications (of course lmgrd is running in the background).
Since I installed everything with the "-noroot" option, can this represent a problem for the license? I mean, I've installed everything in a sub-folder in my home directory. could it be that some configuration file is looking for the license file in some other folder, and maybe not in my folders but under /usr/local/flexlm (which is the directory where it usually searches for a lic file if installed as root) ??

I've double checked every section of anlic_admin and the wizard...everything is fine! is there any known settings to edit manually ? is there a workaround?
thanks again!

What error message you get about the license server? "Server not found"?
Check the connection ports and server name.

Try run Fluent, it show valuable information in its console.

Regards,
Christian

[sedo_5]

That's what I did, I run fluent (installdir/v130/fluent/bin/fluent).
Since I didn't manage to copy the output, I'm attaching a screenshot...

I also tried to copy the license.dat into that folder suggested in the output and (just to make sure) also in the usual /usr/local/flexlm/licenses folder...nothing changed!

Thanks
Renzo

PS: of course lmgrd was up and running fine

Have you installed LM with --noroot option too?

Make sure your HostID is the MAC address of your active network board.

Try set LM_LICENSE_FILE to your actual license.dat path as sugested.

Otherwise, I can't see any problem.

EDIT: Try run LM diagnostic at ANSLIC_ADMIN > View Status/Diagnostic Options > Gather diagnostic information and see if you get a Features list.
