ld: Can't find library for -ldl in hp-ux itanium

[HP-UX itanium]

hi gurus,

recently we had setup nw itanium box for testing application.it has got informix IDS 11.50 Dev edition(64 bit) and 32 bit tools on it.
we are getting following error
c4gl db_lock.4gl -o db_lock.
ld: Can't find library for -ldl
Fatal error.

any help greatly appreciated

[Steven Schweda]

It might help if you showed the actual
command which produced this complaint.

Do you have a libdl.* anywhere?

Hi steven,

Thanks for the reply

c4gl db_lock.4gl -o db_lock this is the command am trying to execute.
we have libdl* files in /usr/lib dir

-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 12288 Feb 15 2007 libdld.1

Well, now you have some idea how little I
know about the Informix environment.

The real mystery is what the (hidden) "ld"
command looks like (and why?). If "c4gl"
offers any verbose/debug options, then they
might get you some info.

"man ld" should reveal any environment
variables which might be affecting ld's
operation (LDOPTS, LPATH, ...).

Is everything working right on some other
system? Comparison can be useful.

> we have libdl* files in /usr/lib dir

Fine, but none of them is a "libdl.*", and
that's what "-ldl" would be requesting.

[Dennis Handly]

libdl.so is in /usr/lib/hpux32/ and /usr/lib/hpux64/.

What does your link line look like?
This IS linking Integrity executables and not PA-RISC?

>Steven: If "c4gl" offers any verbose/debug options, then they might get you some info.

Right. Especially if LPATH is changed.
If c4gl doesn't have -v, you can use:
LDOPTS=-v c4gl db_lock.4gl -o db_lock

and LDOPS is set as follows

and am trying to run what u gave me,getting same error msg.

mlurf:/app/wms/urf/opt/viaware/dbs/lock_level> LDOPTS=-v c4gl db_lock.4gl -o db_lock
ld: Can't find library for -ldl

>getting same error msg.

Of course. But you should get a massive output file which can be used for triage.

>LDOPTS=-v c4gl db_lock.4gl -o db_lock
ld: Can't find library for -ldl

If you don't get a file, you'll need to use tusc to see what ld is getting.
tusc -fp -ea -o tusc.out c4gl db_lock.4gl -o db_lock

HI,

This doesn't come with HP-UX but can be quickly installed with 'swinstall' by fetching it from here:

What does that mean?
