interpreter "/usr/lib/hpux32/uld.so" not found

newbie2 — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 15:36:38 GMT

I'm new to HP unix
I have renamed /usr/lib/hpux32 to hpux32.bck

this action has caused all the commands (e.g. ls, mv, cp etc) couldnt be used.

I have tried to rename hpux32.bck back to the original name but fail with the following error:

interpreter "/usr/lib/hpux32/uld.so" not found
exec(2): could not load a.out

i even couldn't ftp or rcp.
I also couldnt telnet a new session.

Question:
any idea i can rename the hpux32.bck to hpux32?

Thanks in advance.

Shalom,

Change the SHLIB_PATH to reflect the name change to hpux32.bck

you might be able to fix this in maintenance mode...requires reboot do switch it. you'll need console access.

then activate vg00 and mount the filesystems. then us /sbin/mv to fix it.

what ever posessed you to move it in the first place?

As OldSchool asked, what were you trying to do with /usr/lib/hpux32?

>I have tried /sbin/mv but it was not working.

Please explain why? It should be impossible for it to fail.

>How to telnet a new session?

You can't do anything with that system until you get /usr/lib/hpux32 back.

>how to switch to maintenance mode?

You need to get into single user mode and mount /usr/lib, then do /sbin/mv.

If you are still logged on as root, you should do it now.

>SEP: Change the SHLIB_PATH to reflect the name change to hpux32.bck

It does no good to set SHLIB_PATH if you can't run uld.so and dld.so to even see that variable.

As OldSchool asked, what were you trying to do with /usr/lib/hpux32?

Newbie2 : there are quite a number of OS library files were missing. I â m trying to copy the library files from other server with the same OS version. Before copy I backup the library folder by renaming the folder to hpux32.bck.

>I have tried /sbin/mv but it was not working.

Newbie : it was complaining interpreter "/usr/lib/hpux32/uld.so" not found.

You need to get into single user mode and mount /usr/lib, then do /sbin/mv.
Newbie : how to get into single user mode? Appreciate you can provide the steps. Thx.
Will there be any risk to get into single user mode?

If you are still logged on as root, you should do it now.

It is impossible to get this error if you use /sbin/mv instead of /usr/bin/mv.

See the differences:
-r-xr-xr-x 638124 Mar 26 2004 /sbin/mv
-r-xr-xr-x 162716 Mar 26 2004 /usr/bin/mv

>how to get into single user mode?

You have to reboot. Are you still logged on as root?

>I have export SHLIB_PATH but it was not working.

Of course and I explained why it wouldn't work.

What does this mean? You didn't fix the problem right away with /sbin/mv?

>can I get into single user mode by hard reboot?

Yes. See these threads:

i did try but unable.

question :

1.will there be any risk to boot to single user mode?
2. without /usr/lib/hpux32, the server still can be reboot?

>I did try but unable.

You might explain more.

>1. will there be any risk to boot to single user mode?

There is always a risk but as soon as you moved /usr/lib/hpux32, you trashed your system. And the first step should have been /sbin/mv to move it back.

>2. without /usr/lib/hpux32, the server still can be reboot?

It should be able to put in single user mode.

newbie2 — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 14:31:44 GMT

The issue has solved.

Steps were performed :

-reboot to the single user mode
-mount /usr
-mv /usr/lib/hpux32.bck /usr/lib/hpux32

Thanks all for the guidance.
