Bad magic number

[Bob Manocchia]

I'm trying to install hobbit 4.2.0 on an hpux 11.23 itanium server. I ran configure and it worked fine with a little tweaking. I run /usr/local/bin/gmake and get the following error:

/usr/lib/dld.sl: Bad magic number for shared library: /usr/local/lib/libiconv.sl
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Exec format error

Any help would be appreciated.

You probably have a mismatch of executable and shlib. What does these show:
$ file /usr/local/bin/gmake
$ file /usr/local/lib/libiconv.sl

Libs on IPF should be in .../lib/hpux32/.

[Bob Manocchia]

Here it is:

file /usr/local/bin/gmake
/usr/local/bin/gmake: PA-RISC2.0 shared executable dynamically linked
.file /usr/local/lib/libiconv.sl
/usr/local/lib/libiconv.sl: ELF-32 shared object file - IA64

You have a PA executable and an IPF shlib. You need to move /usr/local/lib/libiconv.sl to /usr/local/lib/hpux32/libiconv.so.

And either get an IPF version of gmake or get PA versions of libiconv.

I've installed the ia64 11.23 version of make but I'm not sure about the move of libiconv.sl. The directory /usr/local/lib/hpux32 soesn't exist. Should I create it and then move the file there under the new name?

Yes. I assume you can check to make sure this doesn't break anything.

T installed the newer version of the gcc compiler and it now matches gmake and I got past this error only to run into another one.

Thanks
