2.2. Unix/Linux Platforms: Follow the steps below to complete the installation.
Step 1. Go to lingo11/bin/<PLATFORM> binaries directory and make sure all the files are in executable mode. If they are not, you should change their mode by typing
%> chmod 755 *
Step 2. Update the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. It is assumed that the installation directory is $HOME/lingo11.
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/lingo11/bin/<PLATFORM>:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Step 3. Set the $LINGO_11_LICENSE_FILE environment variable to refer to the license file for your installation. For example, if your installation directory is $HOME/lingo11 and you have a 32-bit version of LINGO, then the environment variable should be set as
LINGO_11_LICENSE_FILE=$HOME/lingo11/license/lndlng11.lic
export LINGO_11_LICENSE_FILE
or, for 64-bit versions of LINGO do the following :
LINGO64_11_LICENSE_FILE=$HOME/lingo11/license/lndlng64_11.lic
export LINGO64_11_LICENSE_FILE
Alternatively, you can execute the shell script lingo11/bin/<PLATFORM>/lingovars.sh to perform the required updates in these environment variables.
To execute this script manually, enter the following at command line
source $HOME/lingo11/bin/<PLATFORM>/lingovars.sh
Alternatively, to execute the script automatically at logon, append this line to the end of your startup script (.bashrc or .bash_profile for bash shell).
Step 4. If you do not already have a valid LINGO license file and you wish to create a demo license, then go to the lingo11/license folder and run the create_demo_license script as follows:
cd $HOME/lingo11/license
source create_demo_license.sh
Step 4. You should now be able to run LINGO by going to the $HOME/lingo11/bin/<PLATFORM> folder and entering “lingo11” for 32-bit versions and ‘lingo64_11” for 64-bit versions. If the LINGO_11_LICENSE_FILE or LINGO64_11_LICENSE_FILE environment variable is not set up correctly, you will receive the following error message every time you start LINGO.
- - -
[Error Code: 171]
License key was not found or is invalid.
- - -
Step 5. On Linux platforms, you may prefer to include the lingo11/bin/<PLATFORM> directory into the /etc/ld.so.conf file and then run ldconfig. This operation generally requires super user privileges. You may also update the $PATH environment variable accordingly to include the lingo11/bin/<PLATFORM> folder in the search path.
NOTE: Unlike the Windows version of LINGO, which has a GUI front end, Unix/Linux versions are command-line applications. All commands are typed into LINGO’s command-line prompt that begins with a colon character (:). Available commands are discussed in detail in Chapter 6, Command-Line Commands, of the LINGO Users Manual.
Step 1. Go to lingo11/bin/<PLATFORM> binaries directory and make sure all the files are in executable mode. If they are not, you should change their mode by typing
%> chmod 755 *
Step 2. Update the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. It is assumed that the installation directory is $HOME/lingo11.
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/lingo11/bin/<PLATFORM>:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Step 3. Set the $LINGO_11_LICENSE_FILE environment variable to refer to the license file for your installation. For example, if your installation directory is $HOME/lingo11 and you have a 32-bit version of LINGO, then the environment variable should be set as
LINGO_11_LICENSE_FILE=$HOME/lingo11/license/lndlng11.lic
export LINGO_11_LICENSE_FILE
or, for 64-bit versions of LINGO do the following :
LINGO64_11_LICENSE_FILE=$HOME/lingo11/license/lndlng64_11.lic
export LINGO64_11_LICENSE_FILE
Alternatively, you can execute the shell script lingo11/bin/<PLATFORM>/lingovars.sh to perform the required updates in these environment variables.
To execute this script manually, enter the following at command line
