libcomp.sl not found

Jon Yourman — Mon, 29 Jul 2002 19:34:49 GMT

Good Afternoon,

I am running HPUX 11.0, a piece of software that I use stopped working, as per their Tech Support I was told to do a reinstall, when I did so, I received a message that the libcomp.sl file was not found. From what their tech support told me, this file was necessary to install the software in the first place, so I am assuming at one point it was present. Any ideas on how to recreate this file, do I need a patch?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Jon

Do "swlist -l fileset -a state". All your fileset should be configured. If not, use swconfig or reinstall.

This is probably the patch you need (PHSS_25249). Take a look at its description ..it loads /opt/langtools/lib/libcomp.sl. As with all patch loading, make sure your system is backed up before installing the patch.

The file is under /usr/lib/pa20_64; if it is there then you may just have a path problem. Otherwise, if the application you are having problems with is Oracle, you may need this patch:

First off, thank you all for your speedy response. I downloaded the patch and attempted to install it last night, to which I received the following message;

NOTE: The fileset "PHSS_25249.LANG-UX,r=1.0" is a "sparse" or "patch" fileset which may only be installed upon a previously installed base fileset. The specification for the required base fileset is "Auxiliary-Opt.LANG-AUX,fr=B.11.00,v=HP". Since there is no fileset on the target or selected from the source which matches this specification, fileset "PHSS_25249.LANG-AUX,r=1.0" will be excluded.

Here is what I do not understand, when I installed the software, a program called DoubleVision originally, according to Tech Support at that company, I would have needed this libcomp.sl file, yet from what I can tell, there is no way that the file was present. Any ideas on what the next step should be?

Thanks again

Jon

Can you recover the file from backup? Or ftp it from another system?

I have looked around on some other systems I have access to, and I have been unable to find the file. What is interesting to me is the fact that I have installed this software on 4 HP-UX systems, 2 of which are 11.0, and yet none of them currently have this file, the whole thing is quite confusing to me. I will look around some more to attempt to find the file, any ideas where I may be able to find it?

Thanks
Jon

I found it on several of my systems in:

/opt/langtools/lib/libcomp.sl

Martin,
Any chance you could upload it for me? I have looked on each of the systems and the file was not anywhere to be found.

Thanks
Jon

The patch that was given earlier depends on whether your system has ..
C-ANSI-C B.11.00
aC++ Compiler
or not. If not then the installation will failed. I think you may want to re-visit your software vendor and find out if it needs the above compiler for it to work.

Mailed as libcomp.tgz

# gzip -d < libcomp.tgz | tar xvf -

or if you have GNU tar (when you don't, get it from https://www.beepz.com/personal/merijn):

# Gtar -xvzf libcomp.tgz
