10.20 can't open shared library

[Jeremey Weeks]

I'm getting this when attempting to run sam, swinstall, swlist and srvrmgrl. The server is production related and I'd rather not re-install the OS.
sam
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Can't open shared library: /usr/lib/libC.1
/usr/lib/dld.sl: No such file or directory
/usr/sbin/sam[221]: 4362 Abort(coredump)
the lib files are gone, is it possible to copy them from a different server? I have another 10.20 machine running.

Yes, you can but because so many utilities depend upon libC this is tricky. You need to use only the utilities in /sbin. These are statically linked. Because you have a crippled system, it's probable that none of your network commands work. In your case, I would use tar to make a tape containing the needed files and then use /sbin/tar to install them.

Good luck, Clay

Hi Jeremy,

Does /usr/lib and /usr/share/lib exist. If not, you can try this,

export /usr/lib and /usr/share/lib from another system. Mount them on this local system at /usr/lib and /usr/share/lib respectively. See if sam works. If it works and if the directories /usr/lib and /usr/share/lib are missing on your system, copy them from the remote system.

Hope this helps.
