Using IDL with a local license server

March 17th, 2007 by Marcos

If you’re using IDL on a Mac, and also have the IDL license server running on the same Mac, it’s apparently necessary to set HOSTNAME in /etc/hostconfig. In the old days of OS X this was set by default in hostconfig with a line

HOSTNAME=-AUTOMATIC-

but this is no longer the case in Tiger, and maybe Panther. Your hostname should be something like mycoolmac.myschool.edu. I would think using -AUTOMATIC- would work as well, since that should grab your hostname from your DNS.

Thanks to Jessica Lair for this info.

FYI, I’m now trying out MarsEdit for my posts, which I think I may like more than ecto.
