Hey,
I cannot seem to get Deadline Slave to launch in linux. I go through the install process, and when launching ./deadlineslave i get an error saying FLEXnet licensing error -1,359 System error 2: No such file or directory. Was Deadline supposed to create a FLEXlm directory when installing? There is no license.dat file on the system anywhere, which the Deadlineslave is looking for… I’m running Fedora 10.
Thanks,
Brett Bronson
Hey Brett,
FLEXlm saves its settings to the .flexlmrc file in the current user directory. If this file doesn’t exist, create it, and add this entry:
FRANTIC_LICENSE_FILE=port@server
Note that ‘port’ is optional, and ‘server’ is the name or IP address of the license server machine. Don’t forget the ‘@’ symbol. Save the file and try starting up the slave again.
Cheers,
Yes, that file exists, and the contents are correct . This is my output from install and an attempted launch:
[root@brett-linux Deadline_3.1_Install_linux]# sh deadlineclientsetup.sh

Any ideas?

Looks like you’re missing the ‘@’ symbol. 
Without the ‘@’ symbol, FLEXlm treats the entry as a path to a file, as opposed to a license server machine. Try changing the contents to this:
FRANTIC_LICENSE_FILE=@license2Or, of you’ve configured your license server to use a specific port (ie: 27009), then use this:
FRANTIC_LICENSE_FILE=27009@license2I should note that the .flexlmrc file is NOT a license file, it just tells FLEXlm where to look for the license (similar to the FLEXlm License Manager registry entry on Windows).
Cheers,
I’ve tried those methods too with the same outcome and tried again just in case. It’s still looking for /usr/local/flexlm/licenses/license.dat and will not launch. It’s complaining that the file does not exist or cannot be found.

Strange, I was able to get this working on a virtual machine, and a different computer. I’ll reinstall fedora and try again.
