Help needed to run purify

vasundhara — Mon, 03 May 2004 04:43:53 GMT

Hi,

I am running purify on one binary. Normal binary is executing with out any problems. But, purify binary is exitting with the error
"shl_load("/tmp/vasu/purify/usr/lib/libstraddr.1_pure_p3_c0_106272155_B1111_32_163
84", 0x908, 0) failed. Exec format error"

The error is coming when "svc_reg" system call is executed.

Also, the library libstraddr.1 is not shown in the output of "ldd binary".

I do not understand why this library is coming into picture when this is not shown in "ldd"

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards
VJ.

it is under shl_load so it means that it is dynamically loaded, thus it is normal not to appear in ldd dependencies.

What is your level of linker patch?
What version of purify are you using?
You should install latest version of purify accessible from their download center

please check whether the library in the reported location is valid: if your application is PA32, the library should also be PA32 (not PA64).
