Abaqus/Explicit 2020 Package Error


I am encountering a packager error when trying to run Abaqus/Explicit 2020 on a research cluster (Lonestar6 https://tacc.utexas.edu/systems/lonestar6/, running Rocky 8.4). I can successfully submit a job, connect to the license server, and pre-process and submit the job. During the Run Package step, the Abaqus job encounters an error. For example I am unable to run the example Abaqus script from the TACC technical documentation site found here: https://docs.tacc.utexas.edu/software/abaqus/. Even running this Abaqus job throws a package exception in one of the driver python modules installed with Abaqus. I will attach my log files in this shared box folder https://utexas.box.com/s/sl8t7jc1z1ov46u71mwrx1t4g9npkdm4. The error thrown to the slurm job is (see slurm_job_out.txt):

Abaqus Error: Abaqus/Explicit Packager exited with an error - Please see the

status file for possible error messages if the file exists. (Note: nothing is generated in the status .sta file)

Exception: (, AbaqusExecutionError('Abaqus/Explicit Packager', -6), )

Additionally, a package exception is created (see package.1867132.00.exception) which provides the call stack traceback as:

Google has not been able to help me much, but I think this may be some sort of linking issue related to Abaqus's installation. Unfortunately, this is all well over my head which is why I am reaching out to see if anyone has any ideas on what is causing this issue. Any thoughts or steps to take to debug this error? Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.
