Oracle linking problem or bad SHLIB_PATH?

[Eric Ladner]

Oracle 8.1.7 (64 bit), HP-UX 11.0 (64bit).

When trying to execute svrmgrl and some others, I get the following error:

/usr/lib/dld.sl: Bad magic number for shared library: /oracle/v8170ee64/lib64/libclntsh.sl.8.0
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Exec format error
Abort(coredump)


I tried relinking svrmgrl (make -f ins_rdbms.mk isvrmgrl) but I get the same results. The interesing thing is the chatr output for svrmgrl:

pamer v8170ee64/rdbms/lib: chatr /oracle/v8170ee64/bin/svrmgrl
/oracle/v8170ee64/bin/svrmgrl:

shared library dynamic path search:
SHLIB_PATH enabled first
embedded path disabled second Not Defined

dynamic /usr/lib/libpthread.1
dynamic /usr/lib/libnss_dns.1
dynamic /usr/lib/libdld.2
dynamic /usr/lib/libm.2

shared library binding:

kernel assisted branch prediction enabled
lazy swap allocation disabled
text segment locking disabled
data segment locking disabled
third quadrant private data space disabled
fourth quadrant private data space disabled
data page size: D (default)
instruction page size: D (default)

Note the ../lib/.. rather than ../lib64/.. in the shared library list.

Also, the produced svrmgrl executable is a PA-RISC 1.1 shared executable, rather than an ELF 64 bit executable as I would expect.

If I change SHLIB_PATH to $ORACLE_HOME/lib rather than $ORACLE_HOME/lib64, it works. Am I off base on my SHLIB_PATH here?

Why the discrepancy? This is a 64bit installation on a 64bit machine. I'd expect it to use the 64bit libraries rather than the other ones.

Thoughts?

Sorry it's so jumbled. Got the phone rining about every 60 seconds as I'm trying to figure this out. Users.. Heh.

HI,

just a thought

Hi
Have experienced the same thing as you.
I'm not to sure about this answer but works anyway;

SHLIB_PATH should include both $ORACLE_HOME/lib and $ORACLE_HOME/lib64

I belive there still is some 32 bit software within the Oracle package.

Hi,

I am not a DBA but one of my servers run Oracle 8.1.7 (64 bit machine in 64 bit mode)Try the following:
Make sure you have the following variables exported:
export ORACLE_ROOT=/apps/oracle
export ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_ROOT/product/8.1.7
export ORACLE_SID=yoursid
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib

I don't seem to have the SH_LIB_PATH variable exported..

Oracle on my server doesn't seem to use the lib libclntsh.sl.8.0

The closest match:
> lsof|grep "libclntsh"
tnslsnr 1167 oracle txt VREG 0,0 /apps/ora
le/product/8.1.7/lib/libclntsh.so.8.0

My current patch level is 108528-07...

I am not sure if this helps at all..
