compile software on HP itanium

[Heiko_7]

I'm trying to get a copy running of Berkeley DB
on an Itanium server.

when compiling the software the following error occure

/usr/bin/sh ./libtool --mode=link cc -o db_archive \
db_archive.lo util_sig.lo libdb-4.5.la -lpthread
cc -o .libs/db_archive .libs/db_archive.o .libs/util_sig.o ./.libs/libdb-4.5.so -lpthread -Wl,+b -Wl,/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.5/lib
ld: Unknown input file type: "./.libs/libdb-4.5.so"
Fatal error.
*** Error exit code 1

Stop.

from what i find on the internet, i might have something to do with compile 32bits software to an 64 bits platform.

Is there anyone here who can help me?

system uname -a
HP-UX hostname B.11.23 U ia64 xxxxxxxxxx

file info
root@hostname(virtu):/root/depot/db-4.5.20/build_unix # file ./.libs/libdb-4.5.so
./.libs/libdb-4.5.so: ELF-32 executable object file - IA64


thanx in advance

If you look real closely, it appears you didn't create the shared lib libdb-4.5.so correctly. You forgot the -b. See the following:
http://docs.hp.com/en/8759/libs.htm#createlib

You may want to add -v to see what the driver is doing.

>it might have something to do with compile 32bits software to an 64 bits platform.

No. The HP-UX default is still +DD32, whether PA or IPF.

while trying your suggestions i saw some extra info:

This looks to me the command with wich libdb-4.5.so gets created.
except for the warning i can't see anything strang here
(btw i am a newby at this, so my apollogies in advance for any silly remarks )

As Dennis said, you need the -b option to produce a shared library, but this is not supported by the bundled compiler (/usr/ccs/bin/cc).
To make shared libs you have to use either the HP ANSI-C compiler (/opt/ansic/bin/cc) or gcc.

>To make shared libs you have to use either the HP ANSI-C compiler

For C, you can also use ld -b directly.

[Heiko_7]

i installed GCC compiler

env CC=gcc ./configure
make

and everything worked like a charm
thanks to you all
