Oracle with Merant ODBC on HP-UX 11

[Vasudeva Upadhya]

When I run the ivtest from the Merant on the ivor816.lib i get the following error:
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Can't shl_load() a library containing Thread Local Storage: /opt/oracle00/app/oracle/product/8.0.5/JRE/lib/PA_RISC/native_threads/libjava.sl
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Exec format error
Load of ../lib/ivor816.sl failed, errno(8)=Exec format error

The sqlplus works fine.
I have installed the patches as mentioned by the merant people.
Any ideas?

Hi,

I've seen this problem before though not on Oracle but the solution is the same.

1) Make sure that you have patch PHSS_22514 installed.

2) There is a new env variable LD_PRELOAD which augments SHLIB_PATH and addresses Thread Local Storage (TLS) issues. You will need to specify libraries to preload by setting and exporting LD_PRELOAD prior to executing your code.

If your search on "Thread Local Storage" you will find more information.
