Glance problem

Andrew Luis Arruza — Mon, 05 May 2003 20:56:35 GMT

I need glance to run for all users and so far the only user that can run it without a core dump is core.
I have it working on other servers but cannot seem to find out why this won't work.
I get the following error on any user except root:
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Can't find path for shared library: libnums.sl
/usr/lib/dld.sl: No such file or directory
Abort(coredump)

Any/all greatly appreciated and points generously applied.

You'll probably find that your system us running out of either 'nprocs' or 'nfiles'
Check with the 'dmesg' command, or view /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log file. If this is the case you'll need to make some changes to your system kernel.

Might want to run the strings command on the core dump. It could provide you some useful information.

Next, Follow Mr. Tully, perhaps post up you kmtume output so we can recommend some kernel changes.

In addition to whats above, I'd do a uname -a and perhaps think about increasing some of those parameters.

The first rule if this is a kernel issue is compare the kernel of a working system. Take into account anything special running on this server, like oracle that might eat up lots of resources.

Next, the obvious, make sure hte file its looking for is actually there and that your PATH variable is being set properly.

Looking forward to more information from you.

Check if the perf libraries do exist at the first place (in /opt/perf/lib). The "libnums.sl" should be in there, perm=555 owner/group=root:bin. I also noticed that in my system there are 2 sym links in /usr/lib that points to /usr/perf/lib they are ..
libarm.a
libarm.sl
The last thing to check is the $SHLIB_PATH setting.
$ echo $SHLIB_PATH
Though I think you need not define /opt/perf/lib in that var path but see if root's $SHLIB_PATH has similar setting the rest of the users.
