Hello!
I have solved my problem, but my solution will unfortunately not
help other users with similar problems. Research Systems had posted
a new version of their license manager which is linked with libc6
instead of libc5. In the mean time I found others who had the same
problem with RedHat 7.0. The problem has not really been explained.
I do have /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libc.so.5 installed, which has
the same path as the one used by LM7.2. Even if libc.so.5 is hard-
wired into idl_lmgrd it should be found.
I will keep you posted if I discover anything further.
