Hi,

I tried to compile a simple hello world C program but the compiler looked 
for the old host name. How to overcome this problem?

 /usr/ucb/cc -o try try.c
ucbcc: Warning: 
Option -YP,:/usr/ucblib:/opt/SUNWspro/WS6U2/bin/../lib:/opt/SUNWspro/WS6U2/bin:/usr/ccs/lib:/usr/lib 
passed to ld, if ld is invoked, ignored otherwise



License Error : Cannot find the license server (libalephprd)

        in the network database for product(Sun WorkShop Compiler C SPARC)

Cannot find SERVER hostname in network database

 The lookup for the hostname on the SERVER line in the

 license file failed.  This often happens when NIS or DNS

 or the hosts file is incorrect.  Workaround: Use IP-Address

 (e.g., 123.456.789.123) instead of hostname

Feature:workshop.c.sparc

Hostname:skywalker ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------>This 
is the old host name (current hostname is libalephprd)

FLEXlm error:-14,7.  System Error: 146    Connection refused



Thanks in advance for any advice.

My impression  here is that  the stuff you ar using is just plain old.
( version 6.2 of the compiler is 5 years old )
Sun Studio 11  does not need a license server .

You should  not  use /usr/ucb/cc    that is just a script  that calls
/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc    with some BSD  dependant options.

Got to     http://www.sun.com/software/products/studio/index.xml

Download and install  the latest  C compiler

put /opt/SUNWspro/bin  in your PATH  before  /usr/ucb   or delete
/usr/ucb from you PATH completely.

Then  try to compile  Your ALEPH   system

I'm sure it can be solved (update license file, get another code etc) 
but why bother? Why not download Sun's Studio 11, which is the latest 
version of the compiler, but now completely free?

I'd also suggest that trying to run the cc in /usr/ucb is not a good idea in
itself.

Cheers,

My comment would not be valid unless you have a supported machine of 
course. You will need an UltraSPARC processor and the minimum 
recommeneded is a U60 with 512 MB and a 450 MHz CPU. But if you don't 
use the GUI, you can get away with a lot less, but it must be an 
UltraSPARC. I've found it quite acceptable using the GUI on a 360 MHz 
Ultra 60.

Edit the license file to reflect the proper server name.

I don't know where is the license file located. Could you give me a
pointer? Is the license file editable using vi?

Hi Casper,

Where can I locate the license file? Is it editable using vi?

Any pointer is appreciated.

Depends; run "truss -f" and the C compiler and look for a file with
"license" in the name.

cc -xlicinfo should tell you

Normally, the licence file is pointed to by the LM_LICENSE_FILE
environment variable.

It is editable with vi.

The licence file itself contains the name of the machine where the
licence server should be running, the licence daemons and the licence keys.
There are a set of tools that are part of the licence package that you
can use to diagnose licence problems (lmstat, lmdiag etc).

Hi,

Thanks everyone.

Problem solved by fixing the licence issue and re-run the daemon
"lmgrd.ste".
