Apache Failure: Can't open shared library: /usr/lib/libnsl.1

[RonHoover]

We have an HP-UX server running Oracle 9i database, Cold Fusion and HP Apache with Netegrity Siteminder for third party authentication. I have to upgrade the database to 10g. The runInstaller pre-check recommended Some Kernel changes and Patches.

The Kernel changes and patches applied. The database starts up fine. but when I try and start Apache, the following error is thrown:
Syntax error on line 176 of /opt/hpapache2/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /web/sso/netegrity/webagent/bin/libmod_sm20.sl into server: Can't open shared library: /usr/lib/libnsl.1

Line 176 of httpd.conf is:
LoadModule sm_module "/web/sso/netegrity/webagent/bin/libmod_sm20.sl"
libmod_sm20.sl trys to load /usr/lib/libnsl.1

When I comment out the following 2 lines in httpd.conf, it starts:
LoadModule sm_module "/web/sso/netegrity/webagent/bin/libmod_sm20.sl"
SmInitFile "/opt/hpapache2/conf/WebAgent.conf"

But the applications are all coded to use Siteminder variables so that is why I need those lines.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Ron,

The problem lies on your build. You have a hard coded library path in your apache, /web/sso/netegrity/webagent/bin/libmod_sm20.sl. Either you should have that library in place or you need to compile statically.

I hope, it is clear.

Arun,
I created the directory structure and put symbolic links but still get:

Syntax error on line 176 of /opt/hpapache2/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /web/sso/netegrity/webagent/bin/libmod_sm20.sl into server: Can't open shared library: /usr/lib/libnsl.1

Hi Ron,

I dont think creating symbolic would be helpful. You can do "ll /web/sso/netegrity/webagent/bin/libmod_sm20.sl" and post your output here. I think, it could be either due to permission issue or link problem.
