Hi Sanjay,
and welcome to the forums.

Can you please first ensure your mylibfile.so can be found via SHLIB_PATH.

Then please detail how you compiled/linked your code (ideally with the actual commands and output).

Please also read:

Thanks Peter for your quick response!!

Yes... the .so file can be located with SHLIB_PATH.

This is our application that we are distributing for long time now and works fine for most of the customer.
We had similar issue some time ago from one of our customer.

At that time, applying following patches solved the issue.

PHCO_24400, PHCO_24402, PHCO_24401, PHNE_24129

But this time, I can see the customer machine has latest patches and still they have the same problem.

And one more thing... Am I right in assuming that the API getaddrinfo is defined only in libc.2. Beacaus I am thinking of checking all the libc.2 on customer machine if they contain definiation of getaddrinfo.
