libc.2

Pablo Arnaldi — Fri, 29 Nov 2002 17:24:15 GMT

Hi, I'm trying to install a software that needs de /usr/lib/libc.2 file.
This file does not exist in none of my hp-ux 10.20 servers.
What is this file? What should I install to have it?
Tanks in advance and best regards.

Are you sure you need the .2 version? Most .2 libs are for pa-risc-2.0 and/or HP-UX 11.00

Chances are that werever you are able to get it, it won't work in 10.20 anyway. You might be able to cheat and do

# cd /usr/lib
# ln -s libc.1 libc.2

But I can't guarantee success :)

Yes, it works perfect.
It was so simple...:)
Tank you very much, and best regards.

It's not my business, but I belive that procura earned somewhat more than two lousy points, if his solution covered your problem, even if his suggestion was simple.

This should certainly be considered an "workaround", and not a solution. I suspect that the software requiring libc.2 is not supported on the OS your are running (10.2), unless there is a libc.2 for that OS revision.

While the installation, and the software may APPEAR to be working properly, you may not be able to get support or fixes should you run into problems down the road.

Maybe you are running something which is not critical, and the workaround suggested is just fine. Jsut be aware of what you are doing, and understand the risks.
