Hi downloaded a trial version of visual cobol for eclise on suse 12 and installed it on the opensuse environment. The entire installation went fine other than the license part. While installing it gave me the following warning.

./MFLicenseServerInstall.sh: line 2299: [: too many arguments
cp: cannot stat '/etc/inittab': No such file or directory
grep: /etc/inittab: No such file or directory

 

When I tried to install the mf license script gave the below error:

 

linux-ixka:/opt/microfocus # sh ./VisualCOBOL/safenet/MFLicenseServerInstall.sh

    -=-==================================================================-=-
                        Micro Focus Licensing Installation
                               www.microfocus.com

          (C) 2016 Micro Focus.

MFLSI.030 - safenet.tar not found.


     You can rerun this script at any time to complete
     the installation of the SafeNet Sentinel Licensing Software.

        cd /opt/microfocus
        ./MFLicenseServerInstall.sh

 

 

Can someone please help.

Were you running the installation as root?

I don't think OpenSUSE is a supported platform. I don't know that it won't work, but there's no guarantee that it will.

It's been a while since I looked at OpenSUSE. A quick look online suggests the systemd disease has progressed far enough to kill /etc/inittab; if that is indeed the problem, then there's no trivial fix.

Yes was running it as root.
Probably that might have been the issue. I have installed it on SUSE Linux and working on it.
