libcma.1

tony brown_3 — Fri, 04 Feb 2005 11:41:46 GMT

I've an application running on hp-ux 10.20 . Which when run fails with an error message of "unresolved symbol .. from /lib/libcma.1"
.I've tried applying various patches but it still fails. Also tried using the old version of libcma.1 but this produces a bus error coredump.
What can i do to correct this ?

Hi Tony,

Could you post the complete error message ?

Is this an oracle application ?

Hi,

Find out how many libcma.1 libraries there actually are on your system. It might be that in the library (search) path variable another incompatible libcma.1 is found.

The error message usually comes from a binaries that has a shared library that is needs at run-time. In your case it is libcma.1.

Also libcma.1 could be a wrong soft-link to a wrong version which was not produced ( or used) at compile time of the binary.

To compound my problems further , I managed by mistake , to move the /usr/lib directory to another location.
I canâ t logon to the system now. Even attempting , going into single user mode, does not help. At the end of the boot sequence, I get an error of â couldnâ t find /usr/lib/dld.slâ at the console and no prompt appears. I donâ t have a recovery cd to boot from. Is there some other way for me to get to the single user state besides using hpux â is at the isl
prompt?
Also , is it possible to download at copy of Ignite for 10.20 from somewhere? From what I can gather, HP no longer supplies Ignite for that version of the O/S. If I could obtain it, I could rebuild my server by copying its se

Hi,

Did you try hpux -lm for booting in maintenance mode?

Otherwise a cdrom boot is preferred.

Tony,

You should be able to boot to maintenance or single user mode.

/usr is not mounted in both modes.

start your server (power on)

as soon as you see something like "press any key to override"

at the menu:

boot pri isl

answer y to interact with ISL

hpux -is

will boot your system in single user mode.

If the above is not what you see, please post your server type.

Best regards,
Robert-Jan

Hi ..
Iâ ve carry out the instruction you gave me but when the boot sequence is complete and the system is ready, all I get is a continuously scrolling screen with the error message â â ¦ couldnâ t open /usr/lib/dld.slâ . No command line appears.
The server is a HP Visualize workstat

I've managed to obtain a recovery cd for 10.20 . I can boot from it and get to the ISL prompt .However , when i attempt to go into single user mode , i get an error of " cannot find /stand/vmunix or /vmunix " . Can i list the contents of the cd ? where could i find the vmunix file on the cd ?

Re: libcma.1

Ok here are the steps as far as I can remember.

Power on your server

as soon as you see something like "press any key to override"

at the menu:

boot pri isl

answer y to interact with ISL

use the SEARCH command to find the boot option for the cdrom

ISL> sea

ISL> bo px
x is for your cdrom option

After some time the console will then display the following

Interact with IPL (Y or N)
Enter Y
"ISL>" prompt will appear
At the ISL prompt do the following:
ISL> 800support or 700support

800 for server, 700 for a workstation

You should get a HP-UX System Recovery Main Menu.

Hope this helps,
Robert-Jan

Thanks to you all !! I've finally managed to get the system up and running .
Well back to my original problem with libcma.1 .
When i execute the nortle application on my server i get an error code

" /usr/lib/dld.sl: Unresolved symbol : fstat64 (code) from /lib/libcma.1
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Unresolved symbol : getlimit64 (code) from /lib/libcma.1
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Unresolved symbol : fstat64 (code) from /lib/libcma.1
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Unresolved symbol : _atexit from /lib/libcma.1
IOT trap "

Which means nothing to me ! :-)
How can i resolve this ?

So are you running oracle ? Could you relink oracle ?

I'm running nortel's EC-1 element controller software not oracle .

I can't relink the application , we don't have a support contract with nortel anymore ..

I've managed to find an old version of libcma.1 . I've altered the SHLIB_PATH to find it , but when i run the application i get a bus error and it core dumps .
Is there anything i can try to fix this ?

Stephen Keane — Wed, 09 Feb 2005 12:14:27 GMT

Can you run chatr on whatever the binary you are trying to run.

# chatr bin_name

And post the output?

fstat64 etc are symbols defined in libc_r.sl, if that helps at all?
