interpreter not found error

Shehryar — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 13:36:41 GMT

Hi,

I have two HP-UX 11.23 servers and I am trying to activate SSL on these. On one of the servers, it works fine and the SAP's SSL library libsapcrypto.so loads fine. On this server, I can also execute ./sapgenpse -h to take a look at the output Moreover, ldd libsapcrypto.so returns:

ldd libsapcrypto.so
libpthread.so.1 => /usr/lib/hpux64/libthread.so.1
libdl.so.1 => /usr/lib/hpux64/libdl.so.1

But on the other server, I am getting an Out of Memory error when I run ldd libsapcrypto.so.
Moreover, when I try to run ./sapgenpse, I am getting:

interpreter "*******************
" not found
exec(2): could not load a.out

Can anyone suggest what might be wrong?

Thanks and regards

Hi,

how is your memory usage. look at swapinfo -tam output.

Kenan.

Check your swapspace with "swapinfo -tam". This may cause the interpreter error.
You can check the interpreter with:
elfdump +interp ./sapgenpse

Thanks for all your responses. SWAPINFO looks fine. We have 35GB swap space for SAP and only 1% is used. The memory is 24% used.

elfdump +interp ./sapgenpse returns an empty line and then ./sapgenpse on the second line. What does that mean?

> sapgenpse

Is this a script (ie, ASCII file, try head sapgenpse | vis)? If you see \r characters, the file has been pulled from a PC. This message shows up when the first line has #!/something (in ASCII) but is not terminated correctly as in binary transfer from a PC. PCs require CR/LF at every end of line while Unix requires just LF. So in that case, the interpreter name ends with the CR character and the OS can't find it.

You can fix the file with dos2ux as in:

dos2ux > tempfile
mv tempfile sapgenpse

Hi,

# head sapgenpse | vis
\177ELF\002\002\001\001\001=\300_`\022\200\220\240ge\200#

# file sapgenpse
sapgenpse: ELF-64 executable object file - IA64

# elfdump +interp ./sapgenpse

./sapgenpse:

Any ideas what might be wrong? The file has been copied from server where it runs fine.

What does the above command show on the other server? What does "file ./sapgenpse" show?

Thanks. It seems there was something wrong with the FTP software I was using as it seemed to corrupt files during tranfer. I have changed that system starts fine now.

Thanks for all your help.

Files were being corrupted by the FTP software. Using a different software resolved the issue.

>Files were being corrupted by the FTP software.

Did you use bin mode to do the copy?

Re: interpreter not found error

Shehryar — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 06:25:06 GMT

Yes, I was using Bin mode but the files kept on causing problems. I tried changing the settings but that didn't work either so I used a different software which resolved the issue.

Thanks for your time.
