Bad system id for shared library

[En Zhu]

I'm trying to install iplanet and jrun4 server on an HP system, I all got the same error message when I try to start the server:

# /usr/lib/dld.sl: Bad system id for shared library: /opt/java1.3/jre/lib/PA_RISC2.0/server/libjvm.sl
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Exec format error

I also tried to use different Java version such as JDK1.3.1.02, JDK1.4.0.01 and JDK1.4.1. They are all the same, any one knows why this happens? My system is:
HP-UX xxxx B.11.00 A 9000/816 1920348251

You probably need the java run time plugins.


http://www.hp.com/go/java

for some reason they don't include these in the SDK/RTE

Also it might be a good idea to check the status with swverify on the SDK or RTE and make sure its configured.

Lastlhy, rip out the SDK/RTE with swremove and reinstall the latest version.

Then go back to bat with iplanet.

I've had some education with these tools at the school of hard knocks, but I did eventually get them working.

Just not on time to make myself happy.

Hi,

What is your hardware?. I don't think your system will support PARISC2 executables.

Try setting your PATH to ../lib/PA_RISC/ and see if it works.

Hi, Steve and Sri,

Thank you very much for you help.
Steve, I'm not using the netscape or mozilla on the HP system, I got the error while I try to start the web server at command line, do I still need the runtime plug-in for 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4 for Netscape and Mozilla for hp-ux? Or you mean something else? I used swverify, it tells me verification succeeded. I've installed many versions of the JDK, from old 1.3 to JDK1.4.1, frustrated.

Sri, how can I know my hardware and how can I know if I can use PARISC2? Could you tell me more detail about this?

Thank you very much.

Hi,

One quick way is to find out from the vmunix file.

file /stand/vmunix

If it does not say PARISC 2.0, then you cannot use PARISC 2.0 binaries. Yours probably is a PARISC1.1. By setting your SHLIBPATH to /opt/java1.3/jre/lib/PA_RISC/server, then it will work.

Send in the output of your "model" command. We should be able to confirm it.

Hi, Sri,

It's a PA-RISC1.1 and I tried to use PA_RISC, it works!!! Thanks a lot!!!
One more question, since it's PA-RISC1.1, why it always picks the PA_RISC2? Is there any system file I can modify so it knows to pick from PA_RISC? Thanks.

Hi En,

The systemwise SHLIB_PATH is set through the file /etc/SHLIB_PATH. If it contains the above path, then probably you will need to delete that entry. If not, then add your PA_RISC path into your .profile like this

SHLIB_PATH=$SHLIB_PATH:/opt/java1.3/jre/lib/PA_RISC/server

Hello!

You have the 32bit OS so it's mean that you
must use always the PA_RISC1.1
It's not only for java librarys it's for
every lib that is in the system.
So always check the SHLIB_PATH for wright libs.

About the path,
do you made a clean install or upgrate,
it's probably so bug in the install that added
to your SHLIB_PATH wrong lib path.

Or you made copy of the java and not install?
