Problem when installing flexlm* on Debian amd64 server

[William_Jalby]

I have a problem in installing flexlm* on a Linux Debian amd64 server.

I've download the tgz on intel website, but, when I run :

./Install_INTEL

I have the following message :

Do you have an idea ?

I can't install my Debian on a 32 bits machine.

And if possible, i prefer not to install a Redhat Linux.

Thanks for your help

Hi William,

What's the version of your Debian? Also, please let me know which flexlm license manager you were using. Flexlm license manager for RHEL 3/4/5?

Thanks,
Feilong

Thanks for your answer,

It's a Debian Lenny under a Xen virtualization system

(kernel2.6.26-2-xen-amd64)

I've downloaded this Flexlm* :

For IA-32 Architecture and Intel 64 (Intel EM64T) Architecture on RedHat* EL3, RedHat* EL4, EL5, SLES 9 and SLES 10flexlm.Linux.EL3.tar.gz

Thanks for your help,

William,

Flexlm* License Manager doesn't support virtual machine officially, although one engineer in our team successfully made it running on an OS on top ofVMWare. I'd suggest you to try to install it on Debian Lenny in a real environment rather than a virual one. See if the license manager works.

Thanks,
Feilong
