Cannot execute ld

[Matt Wardle]

This has just started happening:

$make -f Makefile

Fort77: Cannot execute linker /usr/ccs/bin/ld while linking
*** Error exit code 1

Makefile hasn't changed in months.

Any ideas for a non ex developer sysadmin?

Ta.

Hi


ll /usr/ccs/bin/ld

-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 593920 Feb 1 2001 /usr/ccs/bin/ld

Does it look like this

Yep:

-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 483328 Oct 29 1999 /usr/ccs/bin/ld

Hi,

if the ld doesn't look like this(as Steve said) copt the ld from other HP machine(where it is working) and change the permissions and owner/group.

(i had faced this problem long back and this was the solution i found)

(older version possibly)

On further investigation, if the user rlogins to the machine, it builds, if they log in via the console, it doesn't!

What sort of environment condition could affect it?

Hi


Do you have /etc/securetty


Steve Steel

[Matt Wardle]

No.

Next!

[ranganath ramachandra]

can you try the following:
- add -v & -Wl,-v to the fortran compiler command line to see what options it is calling ld with (it will probably tell you what is exactly happening too)
- run ld manually and see what happens
- check if user's login scripts have anything set differently for different terminal cases

[Matt Wardle]

Errrm, I'll get back to you......
