expect, tcl, oratcl problem

Turgay Cavdar — Wed, 30 May 2007 07:51:10 GMT

Hi all,
I installed tcltk-8.4.14 from http://hpux.cs.utah.edu on hp-ux 11.23 (Itanium). I also installed oratcl4.4 and expect 5.43. The problem is when we try to run our scripts it give the error:
/usr/lib/hpux32/dld.so: Unable to find library '/u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0/client_1/lib/libclntsh.sl'.
Oratcl_Init(): Failed to load /u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0/client_1/lib/libclntsh.sl with error

while executing
"load /usr/local/lib/Oratcl4.4/libOratcl4.4.sl"
("package ifneeded" script)
invoked from within
"package require Oratcl"
(file "/opt/omd/bin/execsql" line 2)

Ok there is no librray called "libclntsh.sl" , actually this must be libclntsh.so. Any ssuggestions?

Did you get all the Run-time dependencies mentioned on the pages, see e.g.

Are you sure you downloaded the Itanium version of the tcltk source code since the ".sl" extension for shared libs applies to PARISC while the ".so" extension is for IPFs.

I am sure i installed the itanium version, i download the source code and compile it. But the result is the same it still asks for ".sl" . I think, i need to compile tcl source code with a special way. Any one can help about this?

You may have to rebuild but you could try setting up a symlink from .sl to .so.

i alreadt tried the symbolic link but it is not succesful also.

>/usr/lib/hpux32/dld.so: Unable to find library

This message indicates you are using IPF.

>i already tried the symbolic link but it is not succesful

What does file(1) say about /u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0/client_1/lib/libclntsh.sl
(Or where you put that symlink.)

Dennis you are right about the link, i was linked to 64 bit libraries so it was not working i tried to link to $ORACLE_HOME/lib32 then tcl successfulyy call the oratcl.
But expect scripts still gives error. When i call tcl from an expect script such as:
#!/usr/local/bin/expect
package require Oratcl

it gives the error:
tel1t1:/tmp#./testt.exp
/usr/lib/hpux32/dld.so: Cannot dlopen load module '/usr/lib/hpux32/libpthread.so.1' because it contains thread specific data.
Oratcl_Init(): Failed to load /u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0/client_1/lib32/libclntsh.so with error
Oratcl_Init(): ORACLE_LIBRARY = /u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0/client_1/lib32/libclntsh.so : file not found.

Any suggestions about this?

>/usr/lib/hpux32/dld.so: Cannot dlopen load module '/usr/lib/hpux32/libpthread.so.1' because it contains thread specific data.

You need to link expect with -lpthread.

Or there may be a non-threaded version of libclntsh?

I installed expect from the depot with the command swinstall -s /file.depot. And it is successfully but when i try to compile from binary with the command ./configure --enable-threads --enable-shared --with-tcl=/usr/local/lib/tcltk --with-tk=/usr/local/lib/tcltk and run make i failed.It stops with the fallowing error:

Stop.

How can compile expect with the option -lpthread ?
Thanks...

Re: expect, tcl, oratcl problem

Dennis Handly — Fri, 01 Jun 2007 04:51:05 GMT

How did you add -lpthread to the link line? Did you remove an existing lib or change the order? Do you know what lib has those exp* symbols? expStateAnyIs ...

You can search your libs and objects with:
$ nm -pxAN libs ... objs | fgrep -e expStateAnyIs -e expStateCheck ...

(Upper case would be definitions.)

If you don't know how to fiddle with the build system, you could always use: LDOPTS=-lpthread

Or going back to your initial version, if you use:
$ LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/hpux32/libpthread.so.1 ./testt.exp

As you said when i export LD_PRELOAD then expect works fine.

Thanks, Dennis...
