Is it possible to run licensed software like Maple, Matlab, or Mathematica in Clear Linux? Many such programs use FlexNet command line utilities (lmutil) for license management. The lmutil command depends on lsb. But LSB is not available in Clear Linux. Should it be possible to install lsb-core from a deb or rpm? Should these apps be run in an Ubuntu or Debian docker container that provides LSB compatibility? Should the user somehow bundle these apps with their dependencies using mixer? What is the recommended method?
$ ldd ./lmutil
linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffc3b3ec000)
libpthread.so.0 => /usr/lib64/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007fb09e864000)
libm.so.6 => /usr/lib64/haswell/libm.so.6 (0x00007fb09e720000)
libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/lib64/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007fb09e705000)
libc.so.6 => /usr/lib64/haswell/libc.so.6 (0x00007fb09e513000)
libdl.so.2 => /usr/lib64/libdl.so.2 (0x00007fb09e50d000)
/lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3 => /usr/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fb09e8bd000)
Update 1: I was able to work around the LSB limitation by manually copying /usr/bin/lsb_release and /usr/lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3 from a gentoo linux install.
Update 2: lsb_release and a symbolic link from ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3 to ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 are sufficient for lmutil.
$ cd /lib64
$ sudo ln -s ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3
$ ls -al /lib64/ | grep ld-linux
