Diff in execution on HP11.0 and HP11.11

[Rajesh Rajguru]

Hi,

After running
system('su root -c "./diagch_rteall.perl"')
and giving root password

I get following error on HP11.11

DynaLoader.pm loaded (/opt/nokianms/lib/perllib /opt/nokianms/lib/perl5/5.00503/PA-RISC1.1 /opt/nokianms/lib/perl5/5.00503 /opt/nokianms/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/PA-RISC1.1 /opt/nokianms/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005 ., /opt/nokianms/lib /lib/pa1.1 /lib /usr/lib /usr/ccs/lib)

at ./diagch_rteall.perl line 17

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./diagch_rteall.perl line 17.

But on HP11.0 I am not getting this error
On HP11.0 eventhough I disabled SHLIB_PATH,
it works

Any pointers/idea about this ??

Thanks & Regards,
Rajesh

I would guess that you installed a binary product on HP-UX 11.11 that you had been running on HP-UX 11.0 and that you have a mismatch between the binary library calling sequence from HP-UX 11.0 and the running libraries on HP-UX 11.11. Something like that.

See if the vendor (Nokia ?) has an 11.11 version.

do other perl programs work on your 11.11 system?

We observed similar issue with 11i.

SHLIB_PATH gets removed every time it does switch user to root. This is true even in one of the other tests where it does switch user to oracle and calls mdbchk.pl.

one solution (other then modifying the call to the script by removing switch user) is to edit "security" file at "/etc/default" with this one line present:-
SU_KEEP_ENV_VARS=SHLIB_PATH.

i got this suggestions from co-workers and it helps.

only issue is, this calls for compromise on security policy on the system.

application side updation appears more close to this issue then unix versions...
