Shalom,

Whats the environment, especially SHLIB_PATH.

I see this code is ELF-32. I'm not an expert, but can code written like that work with an IA-64 system even with 32 bit compatability libraries?

I wonder aloud where did the code come from? Whats the big picture on this project.

Yes this is an ia64 system. And I'm trying to compile syslog_ng for static library linking.

I don't have an 11.23 box handy -- but I believe your problem is that you need /usr/lib/hpux32 in your library path as well.

Here's why (based on my 11.31 box, but I doubt there's much difference here):

# ll /usr/lib/libnsl*
-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 585728 Jun 4 2006 /usr/lib/libnsl.1
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 10 Jun 28 2006 /usr/lib/libnsl.sl -> ./libnsl.1
-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 98304 Mar 29 2001 /usr/lib/libnsl_s.1
-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 126976 May 30 2006 /usr/lib/libnsl_s.2
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 12 Jun 28 2006 /usr/lib/libnsl_s.sl -> ./libnsl_s.2

# file /usr/lib/libnsl.1
/usr/lib/libnsl.1: PA-RISC1.1 shared library -not stripped

[all the libnsl files here are PA -- PA 32 (SOM) and IPF 32 (ELF-32) are not compatible ABIs, hence the error].

# file /usr/lib/hpux32/libnsl.so
/usr/lib/hpux32/libnsl.so: ELF-32 shared object file - IA64

That's the one you want (for 64-bit, obviously use /usr/lib/hpux64/libnsl.so).

[Dennis Handly]

As Don says, -lnsl should be in /usr/lib/hpux??/libnsl.so.

>ld: Can't find library or mismatched ABI for -lnsl

If you have a recent linker patch, I've asked this message be split into two parts so you don't have to guess which part of the "or" is wrong.

>SEP: I see this code is ELF-32. I'm not an expert, but can code written like that work with an IA-64 system even with 32 bit compatibility libraries?

ELF-32 is the native 32 bit IPF format. Nothing to do with compatibility libs.

>Don: /usr/lib/hpux32 in your library path as well.

No, that's the default.

# ll /usr/lib/libnsl*

This shows the problem. You can't use -static on IPF. There is no archive versions of libnsl, libc, etc.

What Shamim1 could try is use -Wl,-a,archive_shared.

(It would have been helpful to add -v to the gcc command line to see the linker options.)

[Shamim1]

Thanks a ton for your response. However still no successs. Here is the output for "gcc -v"

# gcc -v

>Here is the output for "gcc -v"

You need to add it to your link line.

>However still no success.

You didn't remove -static or use the tried and true -Wl,-a,archive_shared.

Hello Dennis,

Thanks for your help, I really appreciate your timely help. However I'm still struggling with the problem, And I put that on hold.
