| We recently upgraded our Alpha machines from Digital Unix
| 3.2 to 4.0d.
|
| Everything went fine, but the license mangager of IDL5 of
| Research Systems Inc. crashes (i.e. flexlm will run, but
| lmgrd will not). The error message is:
|
| 19884:idl_5/bin/bin.alpha/idl_lmgrd: /sbin/loader: Error:
| unresolvable symbol in idl_5/bin/bin.alpha/idl_lmgrd:
|
| Any help?
It's rather annoying to hear about this problem, since I have
just started upgrading all of our 3.2c Alphas to 4.0d because
we're still running IDL4, and we'd been told by RSI that IDL5
requires version 4 of Digital UNIX!
There does seem to be an odd incompatibility between 4.0d and
4.0[bc] that I discovered just yesterday, something having to
do with shared libraries: Some old executables (perhaps ones
built way back when we were running under OSF/1 v2) refuse to
start up, with a message from /sbin/loader (though different
from the message you're getting). Rebuilding the executable
under 4.0d fixed things. Maybe even though IDL5 is a recent
release, RSI is still shipping an older version of idl_lmgrd
that ran OK under 3.2 and 4.0[bc], but fails under 4.0d.
Clearly something changed between 4.0[bc] and 4.0d, because
the old executables that fail under 4.0d ran just fine under
both 3.2c and 4.0c. (Our older Alphas have all been at 3.2c
for long time, but our recently-acquired au-series personal
workstations run 4.0c, so it's easy to confirm that this new
problem didn't occur until 4.0d.)
