[AL2023: lmutil] - Using lmutil on Amazon Linux 2023

[ftchawe-aneo]

Hello,

I was able to get lmutil working on Amazon Linux 2023 by creating a missing LSB loader symlink.

Amazon Linux 2023 no longer includes the system-lsb-core package (as noted in the documentation), and therefore does not provide ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3, which lmutil expects.
Creating the following symlink resolves the issue:

sudo ln -s /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 /lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3

After creating this symlink, lmutil runs correctly on AL2023.

Sharing this here in case it helps others using FlexNet tools on Amazon Linux 2023.
It may be useful to add this workaround to the SOCA documentation so that users deploying on Amazon Linux 2023.

Regards,
Flomin T.
