Hi,

Have you verified if the files exists?
/usr/lib/dld.sl

If it's there can you verify if the /usr/lib directory is in your path?

Hi

#find / -name dld.sl

if not found in /usr/lib then locate the another copy. if found create a soft link.

[OFC_EDM]

Here's an example of how to create the soft link

- 1.txt will have the letter A in it.
- Then will create softlink called 2.txt.
- Then display 2.txt to show it displays content of 1.txt.

# echo A >> 1.txt
#ln -s 1.txt 2.txt
#cat 2.txt
A

Note I stripped out the paths in front of the filenames for illustration.

Hi,

without a functional shared library loader (/usr/lib/dld.sl) it won't even be possible to reach a runlevel higher than 's'.
It's this loader, which complains about missing libraries in an object file to be loaded.
Try
chatr
to identify these and read the release notes of the product, how to setup SHLIB_PATH and friends to get these - products supplied libs, I think - resolved.

Does it mention the shlib in the message?
You need to provide that path in SHLIB_PATH.

>O'Kevin:Have you verified if the files exists? /usr/lib/dld.sl

Of course dld.sl exists, it printed the message.

>verify if the /usr/lib directory is in your path?

Since that's the default, you don't need to worry about it.

>Peter: without a functional shared library loader (dld.sl) it won't even be possible to reach a runlevel higher than 's'.

True, but you might remove it somehow. ;-)

>Try chatr to identify these and read the release notes of the product, how to setup SHLIB_PATH

Right.

Any one give me a exact solution to solve this problem.

We told you. Provide the exact output from dld. Find that shlib. Put that path in SHLIB_PATH and export it.
