/net/tools/ansys/AnsysEM-2022R2/v222/Linux64/ansysedt.exe

net/tools/ansys/AnsysEM-2022R2/v222/Linux64/ansysedt.exe: error while loading shared libraries: libmwtlbinf32.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or director

OR
Unable to resolve function glXQueryExtension

OR

Software and Version

Ansys Electronics Full Package 2022R2 and License Management Center

*This example was taken from this version, but is not necessarily limited to this version.

Description

In some 64-bit Linux system, required 32-bit libraries are not installed.

This information was pulled from AnsysEMInstallGuide-Linux, and has been updated.

Solution

Ansys applications may require certain 32-bit libraries, they must be installed manually.  Newer library versions than listed below may also be used.

32-bit Libraries Required for License Server

Required to Install License Server

1. glibc.i686

2. compat-libstdc++-33.i686

Additional Libraries Required to run License Server

3. glib2.i686

4. bzip2-libs.i686

5. expat.i686

6. libpng.i686

7. libtiff.i686 (includes libjpeg.i686 and zlib.i686)

8. libXft.i686 (includes fontconfig.i686, freetype.i686, libXrender.i686 and                      libXxf86vm.i686)

2. libXp.i686

3. mesa-libGLU.i686

4. libpng12-1.2.50-10.el7.x86_64

Additional Libraries Required to run Applications

5. glib2.i686

6. bzip2-libs.i686

8. libXft.i686 (includes fontconfig.i686, freetype.i686, libXrender.i686 and  libXxf86vm.i686)

 

Library Installation

This example was taken from a Cent OS 7 system.

  1. Open a terminal window
  2. In order to clean up old libraries, use the following command: sudo yum clean all
  3. Libraries can be installed one at a time or multiple libraries in a single command. Install the 32-bit libraries by using this command to install all packages in a single command: sudo yum install glibc.i686 libXp.i686 mesa-libGLU.i686 compat-libstdc++-33.i686 glib2.i686 bzip2-libs.i686 expat.i686 libpng12-1.2.50-10.el7.x86_64 libpng.i686 libtiff.i686 libXft.i686
  4. Continue to install all necessary libraries, selecting y when prompted, watch for any errors as specific package availability can change over time: 
  5. Begin Licenser Management Center and/or Application installation.
 

openGL, glXQueryExtension ERRORS

This additional library is not required but can address GL specific errors, and sluggish UI interactions.
