[rescue] FrameMaker 5

[Jeff Workman]

I think I might have found the answer. I am posting this just in case 
somebody else has the same issue in the future.

Stoned koala bears drooled eucalyptus spit in awe as Lionel Peterson

The license server is installed, but it won't run with just a "personal 
license" installed in $FMHOME/fminit/licenses.


# ./fm_fls /usr/local/frame/fminit/licenses
/usr/local/frame/bin/sunxm.s5.sparc/fm_fls: license file 
/usr/local/frame/fminit/licenses has no licenses to share!
# ./fmflsadm -flshost pantera ping
fmflsadm: No Fls running on host 'pantera'.
# ./fmflsadm -flshost localhost ping
fmflsadm: No Fls running on host 'localhost'.

Ahhh...now I am getting somewhere....what is this?

I get this if I run maker -personalLicenseOnly -nlverbose

This pops up when I click on the INFO button, which seems to be what 
"delicenses" me...
maker: Portmapper didn't tell me where broadcaster is
maker: found licenses in $FMHOME

Pasting "Portmapper didn't tell me where broadcaster is" into google gives
me this link:

Which tell me that Frame won't work on IPv6-enabled machines, both 
solutions they offer involves disabling IPv6 at least temporarily.  BLAH!

It work, though.
