PSS ID Number: Q175813 Article last modified on 11-07-1997

IRIX:3.5,3.51,3.7

IRIX

================================================================ ==

The information in this article applies to:

 == Softimage 3D for IRIX, versions 3.5, 3.51, 3.7 == 

= SYMPTOMS =

The following error message appears when you try to run SOFTIMAGE 3D after upgrading to the next version:

SI_ERROR: dbloadRelationDictionary Cannot open resource file /usr/softimage/3D/rsr!/Relations.rsrc

Note that the “c” is missing in “rsrc.” As a result, SOFTIMAGE 3D will not start.

= CAUSE =

You have not installed (or are not using) the latest version of FLEXlm and the Softimage licensing daemon that you received with your upgrade.

= RESOLUTION =

When upgrading SI3D, ensure that you also upgrade to the latest version of FLEXlm that comes with the install CD-ROM. To upgrade FLEXlm, complete the following procedure:

  Make a backup copy of the softimage.dat file. This file is usually located in /usr/local/flexlm/licenses for SI3D v 3.5 or v 3.51, or /usr/softimage/flexlm/licenses for SI3D v3.7.   Stop the FLEXlm license server with the following command: For SI3D v 3.5x: /etc/init.d/flexlm stop 

For SI3D v 3.7:

/etc/init.d/siflexlm stop   If you are upgrading from SI3D v3.5x to SI3D v3.7, rename the flexlm script from /etc/init.d to /etc/init.d/flexlm.old. This ensures that the correct version starts when rebooting (/etc/init.d/flexlm). If you are upgrading from SI3D v3.5 to SI3D v3.51, rename the flexlm directory /usr/local/flexlm to flexlm.old. NOTE: If you have other applications that use FLEXlm, do not rename this directory. In this case, manually copy the FLEXlm binaries from the Softimage CD to the FLEXlm binary directory.   Using the 3D Install program, go under “License Server Administration” and select “Configure Server”; this installs and configures the FLEXlm server with the proper version of FLEXlm   Restore your license file. </li>  Restart the FLEXlm daemons with the following command: For SI3D v 3.51 /etc/init.d/flexlm start For SI3D v 3.7 /etc/init.d/flexlm/siflexlm start </li></ol>

= STATUS =

This behavior is by design.
