cannot find license.dat file on compile

I created a virtual machine on my system and I ported PGI 13.6 workstation to it. I then
ported the license.dat file to the same virtual box from the host machine.

I then tried to compile c1.c which is very basic, the output is:


[James@localhost Desktop]$ ls -al c1.c
-r--r--r--. 1 James James 1401 Sep 13 13:47 c1.c
[James@localhost Desktop]$ gedit c1.c
[James@localhost Desktop]$ pgcc -ta=nvidia -Minfo=accel -fast c1.c

It is not finding the license.dat file.


The license file is there so what is going on? It should compile quite easily. It should not have any trouble finding the license.dat (which is the file that you sent to me).

I put the license.dat file in opt/pgi/ directory which is where I always put it, it is just now on the virtaulbox.

How can I make sure it is finding the license.dat file?

Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Do you have read permissions on the file?
