aCC 64-bit link problem

[Ed Day]

Hi,

I recently purchased an HP Visualize 64-bit workstation in order to troubleshoot a problem concerning running our product on an HP 64-bit machine. I installed aCC and built the libraries with the +DA2.0W option. But when I went to link my test program against the libraries, I got the following error:

bash-2.05$ make
aCC writer.o Employee.o -o writer +DA2.0W -L../../lib -lasn1ber
/usr/ccs/bin/ld: Can't find library for -lstd
*** Error exit code 1

Is there anything else I need to specify to tell it where to find the standard libraries for 64-bit mode?

Any help would be most appreciated.

Where is the library 'libstd' located on your machine?
You can search with:
find / -name libstd* 2>/dev/null

Once you locate it, explicitly tell the compiler to look into that directory with the -L flag. For example, if libstd is in /usr/lib, add a "-L/usr/lib" just after the "-L../../lib" that you already have.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for the suggestions. I first applied the patch and tried as before and got the same result. I then added -L/usr/lib to the command line and this produced a new error. It is as follows:

bash-2.05$ make
aCC writer.o Employee.o -o writer +DA2.0W -L/usr/lib -L../../lib -lasn1ber
/usr/ccs/bin/ld: Can't open /opt/langtools/lib/pa20_64/crt0.o
/usr/ccs/bin/ld: No such file or directory
*** Error exit code 1

Stop.

I looked in /opt/langtools/lib/pa20_64 and the crt0.o file was there, so I don't know what the linker is complaining about. Does anyone have any ideas on this?

Thanks,

Ed Day

A couple more suggestions:

- Make sure the LPATH environment variable is not set. This variable overrides the linkers standard search path list which should include /usr/lib and /usr/ccs/lib (for 64 bit it will include the pa20_64 directories). Having this variable set incorrectly could cause these types of problems.

- Try compiling with the -v flag, this will give more information on where things may be going wrong.

Regards,
Steve

Hi Steve,

Thanks for this response. I did what you suggested. LPATH was not set. Compiling with -v produced a lot of verbose output (included below) and the same error. Upon closer examination, I found the crt0.o file in /opt/langtools/.. was actually a link to another area (usr/ccs/lib/pa20_64) and the file was in fact not there. The uname -m command indicates this machine is a 9000/780 which was sold to me as supporting the PA RISC 2.0 64-bit architecture. Is this not the case?

Thanks again,

Ed

P.S. I'm not quite sure how to read sched.models, but I see a 780 in the left column and 2.0 in the center (as well as PA8000 on the right). Is this the model I have and would I be correct in interpreting this as that it support the 2.0 architecture?

[Steven Gillard_2 · Accepted solution]

All makes sense now - you must be running 32bit HPUX which means the 64bit libraries won't be installed. What does the following command return:

# getconf KERNEL_BITS

Your system does support 64bit HPUX, but it was probably just installed with the 32bit version. You're going to need to upgrade to the 64bit OS, which will probably involve a reinstall (it may be possible without but I've never done it this way - reinstall will be the cleanest method).

Hi Steve,

It does in fact say 32. What do I need to do to update to the 64-bit O/S?

Thanks,

Ed

The clean way is a complete re-install - you'll need to have a set of the 11.x CD's, copies of your codewords for any applications that you bought, and 2 good backups of your data. I would also recommend an ignite recovery tape so you can go back just in case, and its a good idea to take copies of your configuration files on to another system or PC where you have easy access (everything under /etc, LVM details, kernel parms). Then take a look at the installation guide:

http://docs.hp.com/hpux/onlinedocs/5971-0642/5971-0642.html

Having said this, there may be a procedure to upgrade to the 32bit version without a complete re-install. I've never done it but someone else on the forums may be able to help. You might want to try a search of the forums too.

Steve
