dld.sl bad magic error

[joe daly]

Installed latest qpk but did not seem to help.
Anyone have suggestion?

Error:

Hi Joe,

I notice this is a workstation class system.
Is it 32 or 64 bit?

getconf KERNEL_BITS

If it comes back 32 then there's your problem because that's a 64 bit lib file. You wouldn't be able to use it.

Rgds,
Jeff

Opps - this should go under >hpux >patch > community (sorry can someone move it?)

$ getconf KERNEL_BITS
64

It doesn't look like it is the kernel that is having 64-bit issues. The program itself is a 32-bit program that is trying to pull in a 64 bit libdld.1.

I can see that the program is 32-bit because it is using /usr/lib/dld.sl instead of /usr/lib/pa20_64/dld.sl . The program may have a dynamic dependency on "libdld.1" and the SHLIB_PATH has been set to make it look in /usr/lib/pa20_64. Or perhaps LD_PRELOAD is explicitly requesting it to load /usr/lib/pa20_64/libdld.1 .
