Aplication corruption applying hp-ux 11.00 (64 bits version)

[Pablo Matías Rodriguez]

I've just installed 64 bit version of hp-ux on an Lclass machine that had 32 bit version before. All aplications that were restored from a back up didn't work, and crashed with core dump. All aplication needed to be reistalled or recompiled... is it possible that this has something to do with the new version of the so? Or 32bit compiled applicaton should work normally on 64 bit version?

Pablo,

To the best of my knowledge, the apps should run fine. We did exactly the same thing when we upgraded. Some of the old apps were just restored onto the new machine and they continued to run with problem.

Any 32-bit application that was originally compiled/linked on HP-UX 10.20 and up should work on 64-bit 11.0. Applications are not downwardly compatible so that if the development machine were running HP-UX 11.11 then that would not work.

There are a few exceptions. Those applications which are kernel intrusive (e.g. lsof) are not compatible but anything else should work. The typical problems include missing shared libraries and improperly set SHLIB_PATH.
