I’m trying to install Abaqus 2021 on a Rocky Linux system (currently version 8.10). To be able to launch the installation script “StartTUI.sh” I modified all “Linux.sh”-files and changed:

< DSY_OS_Release=`lsb_release --short --id |sed 's/ //g'`
---
> DSY_OS_Release="CentOS"

This procedure worked find with Abaqus 2022, but unfortunately version 2021 will stop continuing at “Running verification.”. Prior step from the installer is:

Generating file /opt/abaqus/2021/InstallData/log/20240816T084918+0200_CODE_linux_a64_SIMULIA_EstPrd.media/tmp/verifyWrapper.sh
Launching application ...
Running chmod -755 over installed files  ...
Running verification.

The contents of “verifyWrapper.sh” are:

cd /opt/abaqus/2021/InstallData/log/20240816T084918+0200_CODE_linux_a64_SIMULIA_EstPrd.media/tmp
"/opt/abaqus/2021/linux_a64/code/bin/ABQLauncher" verify -install -log 

So I tried launching the verification with other parameters:

/opt/abaqus/2021/linux_a64/code/bin/ABQLauncher verify -install -verbose

This is the output that stops eventually without any progress:

Any ideas on what to do next to be able to install and verify abaqus 2021 on rocky linux (or probably any RHEL 8) successfully?
