/usr/lib/dld.sl: Invalid version for shared library with Java 1.5

V. Nyga — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 14:12:37 GMT

Hi,

I've a problem with java 1.5 (Version 5.0.11).
When I try to start an application which requires java 1.5, I get the error message:
'/usr/lib/dld.sl: Invalid version for shared library: /opt/java1.5/jre/lib/PA_RISC2.0/libjava.sl
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Exec format error'

I just installed the latest patch:
PHSS_37517 (ld and linker tools cumulative patch)

Can anybody give me a hint what's wrong?

Hi V:

This suggests that either the executable or the hardware wants load a 64-bit library to a 32-bit executable or vice versa.

Regards!

May be your java need some patches too?
I would not be surprised.

Thorsten, thanks, you're right.
That I've already done, sorry that I still doesn't give all informations at the beginning - I should know it after 6 years itrc now. :-)

JRF - with 'ldd' I get a:

Hmmm - SAP says I've to use java 1.5, this doesn't correspondent to the lib the developer used(?).

>dld.sl: Invalid version for shared library:

This means there is something tricky going on with shlib versioning.

>JRF: This suggests that either the executable or the hardware wants load a 64-bit library to a 32-bit executable or vice versa.

That's not what the message means at all. :-)
I'm probably the only person that does know and then I wasn't able to solve it last time:
http://forums.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=1115429
http://forums.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=1151227

The last time I was able to figure this out had a case where there were two different versions of a shlib. One the full version and the other one had stubs.
And the culprit pointed at evil libcl.2!

>SAP says I've to use java 1.5, this doesn't correspondent to the lib the developer used(?).

Possibly.

Hi Dennis!

I'm running parallel now itrc, call at HP and the developer :-)

I've verified the java1.5 installation ...

I've tried odump:
/usr/ccs/bin/odump -slliblist -sllibload ProSAP_hpux
Warning: expected size of dl_header_ext was 80, got 72
This usually is the result of either outdated odump,ld or dld.sl

Oh just for info:
Parallel the developer tries to compile with java1.5 ... I'll let you know.
On the other side - shouldn't java be downside compatible?

Did you point them to this thread? (They haven't talked to me yet.)

>odump -slliblist -sllibload ProSAP_hpux

You also need to use these options on each of those shlibs (especially the java1.5 shlibs). Also do this again and add -sldlhead.

These are the suspicious shlibs (with that 49):
1 -l .D...I. 49 .../java1.3/.../libjava.sl
2 -l .D..... 49 .../java1.3/.../hotspot/libjvm.sl

From mine:
2 -l .D...I. 49 /usr/lib/libcl.2

-sldlhead output:
Shared Library DL Header for /usr/lib/libcl.2:
version: 93092112
LTptr_offset: 0x00000bc0
highwater_mark: 0000000049 << that 49

>this exe works with java1.4 and their libraries

Can you use the above odump with that 1.4 version to see if the highwater marks are different?

Ok, looking at my system, I see a problem. I have 1.2 and 1.4:
Shared Library DL Header for /opt/java1.2/jre/lib/PA_RISC2.0/libjava.sl:
highwater_mark: 0000000049

2 -l .D...I. 0 /usr/lib/libdld.2
3 -l .D...I. 0 /usr/lib/libc.2

The libjvm.sl in both cases have a highwater mark of 49.

So the application was developed with 1.3 and you are now trying to run with 1.5.

Since they changed the bill of materials in libjava.sl, you can't use 1.5. You would need a new version of ProSAP_hpux.

Hi Dennis, thanks, yes, I've asked the developer to create a new exe with java1.5.
It seems to work.
I can do more test not until next week.
Can you explain the watermark?
Is a watermark of 49 a no-go?

This is from the new exe:

Hmm - there's still a highwater of 49 - but it works (???)

Wow I've already learned much about library handling this week (without doing any progamming) :-)
But there seems to be still much to learn.

>Can you explain the watermark? Is a watermark of 49 a no-go?

You want to hear the whole sad story of a fancy smancy idea that goes terribly wrong in the real world? ;-)

On 10.x, there were some incompatible changes in libcl and libc. They used pragma HP_SHLIB_VERSION for intra library versioning, to have both versions of the same function:
http://docs.hp.com/en/7133/pragmas.htm#pragma-SHLIB-VERSION

The largest version sets the highwater mark for the shlib. This is recorded in all load modules that refer to this shlib to make sure the that version or a newer version is used.

Then on 11.0, we gave up on that technology and used the SVR4 inter library versioning, with .1 and now .2.
Unfortunately only libc realized they could remove the old intra library versioning and start over with 0. And libcl was left in the state of having the useless versioning.
And in the case of java, if you change the dependent shlibs around, the highwater mark will be different and dld will reject it.

>there's still a highwater of 49 - but it works (???)

That's because for libjvm.sl, it always had 49. It didn't go from 49 to 0, like libjava.sl.

Java1.4 was downward compatible - Java1.5 isn't.
