bash dld.so error

[Jannik]

Hey,

I installed 'bash' from HP porting site on my Itanium RX1600 and i did download 11.23.

When i then trye to run bash I get the following error:

# bash
/usr/lib/hpux32/dld.so: Unable to find library 'libintl.so'.
Killed
#

Did you download the correct version?? The version for 11.23??

Do you have the lib /usr/lib/hpux32/dld.so
Is it in the path? SHLIB_PATH???

Library libintl.so should be in SHLIB_PATH (not dld.so, because it is in path, as we can see)

I hope it is problem with SHLIB_PATH as like other application / products.

ldd /usr/lib/hpux32/dld.so
chatr /usr/lib/hpux32/dld.so

Try to export SHLIB_PATH as,
export SHLIB_PATH=/usr/lib/hpux32

as tomek says, you need to check whether libintl.so exists at all, and if it does,
whether SHLIB_PATH is set correctly to include its path.

you never need /usr/lib/hpux32 in SHLIB_PATH: this is the standard shared library lookup path where the dld will always look. also, you never need to bother about being able to find dld.so itself - its path will be hard-coded into the executable.

this error message is *from* dld, it is not *about* dld itself.

you will have the load the gettext to install the libraries.
check the hp porting center to get them installed
