CDE installation error

[u856100]

I am at present attempting to patch together I minimalistic operating system HP-UX 11.00.

I have had a problem adding the CDE to the core OS. I am presented with the following error (contained in /etc/rc.log):

...
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Can't find path for shared library: libX11.3
/usr/lib/dld.sl: No such file or directory
...

The file does exist so this is obviously not the problem.

Any ideas?

thanks

re-install the X11 /CDE filesets from the core O/S ? fyi libX11.3 is part of the motif dev kit I beleive .... are you saying this file is missing ? where and how do you get this error ?

It's possible an application requires the lib and you need to install the dev kit + a motif patch ?

Did CDE install OK or is it just failing to start ?

minimalistic .... should I read missing filesets out ?

do checksum on :
# cksum /usr/lib/X11R6/libX11* compare results with an existing system

# ll /usr/lib/X11R6/libX11.3
-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin (compare)

# ll /usr/lib/X11R6/libX11.sl
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root sys (compare)
/usr/lib/X11R6/libX11.sl ---> /usr/lib/X11R6/libX11.3

these links have to exist:
libX11.sl - /usr/lib/libX11.3
libXm.sl - /usr/lib/libXm.4
libXt.sl - /usr/lib/libXt.3

may be you attempted a less-minimal than expected install, you are missing X11 libraries found :
S800: B3901BA C/ANSI C Developers Bundle for S800
S700: B3899BA C/ANSI C Developers Bundle for S700

G'd luck

Yes this file is missing

I get the error when trying to boot the system into the CDE

I am currently attempting to install the dev kit + motif patch

>minimalistic .... should I read missing >filesets out ?

Yes thats right, I am trying to put HP-UX 11.00 onto a 9000/712/100 with a 1GB hard drive

Thanks for your help!

I have just realised that I have not got any of the X11 bundle installed.

I presumed that this would be automated along with the CDE bundle (not too sure why you would install the CDE without this?)

Now that the X11 server is up and running, the CDE prompt starts but fails to be able to log into the environment, it just blips and returns back to the login prompt again ....

......bugger!
