Can't open shared library

[bivian]

I am setting SHLIB_PATH properly. It does not work even if i create the soft links to libraries under "/usr/lib".

Is there a known issue with PHSS_39821?

I will try to install PHSS_40537.

Installed patch PHSS_40537. But still there is a problem.

Doh, that will catch the culprit red handed and removes SHLIB_PATH settings from any problem.
Now please provide a tusc output to see why the open fails.
Can you do:
file /home/prash/lib32/libnmemso.sl
file /home/prash/newdb/bin/emagent

Hmm, tusc says the latter is 32 bit.
And the former has /usr/lib/libc.2.

Not that I know of.

It seems that i missed out few libraries while adding soft links to "/usr/lib". After adding all of them it works fine. But, this is just a work around. I am curious to know why SHLIB_PATH is not working.

I don't think we'll ever know until you get out your debugger. And be able to follow the process from the start.
The only trouble areas I know are:
1) SHLIB_PATH not set correctly before process start.
2) SETUID processes.

Which is the recommended debugger on HPUX PARISC64

This is a step forward.

Start by removing the duplicates from that variable. Then move the path we are talking about at the beginning of the string.


Horia.

No, it does not work by removing duplicates or keeping the required path in the beginning.

Probably there is a bug in the linker. Can we use any other linker?
