Oratcl 4.4 errors on HP-UX 11.11

[rameshyg]

Hi all-

I had installed TclTk 8.4.14 hp-ux 11.11 box. The DBA has Oracle9.2 installed on the same machine. I'm trying to help get oratcl4.4 installed but am having issues.

I've tried making oratcl in both shared and not-shared mode but that doesn't seem to help.

I am able to install Oratcl4.4, but getting below errors when the user is running oralogon coammnds.

/usr/lib/dld.sl: Can't shl_load() a library containing Thread Local Storage: /usr/lib/libcl.2

How to overcome the errors?

/usr/lib/dld.sl: Exec format error
Oratcl_Init(): Failed to load /opt/oracle/OraHome1/lib32/libclntsh.sl with error

ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/OraHome1

I had also added the below line to .profile of the user "web", who is running these oralogon commands.
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libcl.2 tclsh

Thanks

If you expect to load libclntsh.sl, you must link your application with -lcl.
Or use LD_PRELOAD= as you had on the end.

[rameshyg]

Denis,

How to link the application with -lcl? Can you please give me more info.

Thanks,
Ramesh

>How to link the application with -lcl?

On the end of your link line for building tclsh, just add -lcl.

[rameshyg]

Dennis,

Do I need to re-install tcl?

Thanks,
Ramesh

Why don't you try the precompile version, installable as a depot

http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Tcl/tcltk-8.4.14/

[rameshyg]

Hi,

I had installed the tcltk 8.4.14 from the below URL. It is a Depot software and I had installed it with sam.
http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Tcl/tcltk-8.4.14/

Thanks,
Ramesh

No this build is "broken" in that you can't have plugins of Pascal, aC++ or Fortran and probably Java, without you using LD_PRELOAD.

If there is a way to ask them to add -lcl to their PA builds, I would suggest you do so.

Here is the info on the aC++ page about plugins:
http://www.docs.hp.com/en/7762/5991-4874/distributing.htm#linking

The only immediate info you need is:
The a.out must be linked with:
/usr/lib/libcl.sl (or on the link line -lcl)

[rameshyg]

Hi,

There is no a.out in the system.

# find / -name "*a.out*"
/home/scheida1/PATCHES/PHSS_35381/C-INC/usr/include/a.out.h
/usr/share/man/man4.Z/a.out.4
/usr/share/man/ja_JP.eucJP/man4.Z/a.out.4
/usr/share/man/ja_JP.SJIS/man4.Z/a.out.4
/usr/include/a.out.h
/var/adm/sw/save/PHSS_33035/C-INC/usr/include/a.out.h
/var/adm/sw/save/PHSS_35381/C-INC/usr/include/a.out.h

What do you mean by the build is broken?

Thank you very much,

Ramesh

>There is no a.out in the system.

Sorry, a generic term for the executable.

>What do you mean by the build is broken?

You're having trouble, so by definition the build is broken. ;-)
