HPUX 11i chatr error

[Theresa Patrie]

Hi,
I am getting a chatr error when invoking one of my
design tools. It says:
/usr/bin/chatr (error): dl_header_ext.size != sizeof(dl_header_ext)
Please update your version of the linker.
I installed the latest ld and linker patch, PHSS_26263,
but that only changed the (error) to a (warning).
What does this message really mean and how can
I get rid of it?? User's get nervous when they see
errors/warnings when they invoke tools. I have no
good explanation for them! Any input would be
appreciated!
Thanks,
Theres

Hi

This is a harmless warning which will go away I believe if you relink the application.

It's not to be concerned with since you've done the patch install. I do get this too and as far as I understand the message is just a "notification", merely a "nuisance" not a problem. This "noise" will be elimiinated once your appliation is being linked to the newer linker version.

So, what you guys are saying
is that I have to wait for an
updated version of the tool
that the vendor has compiled
with later HP libraries?? The tool in question is an Actel
synthesis tool.

Hi

yes . It is an irritation. Not a problem.

When the software is linkied at the same patch level it will go.

Thanks for the responses. We have found that a lot of vendors lag behind when it comes to updating the software for HP workstations. Some of our digital design tool vendors have pulled HP out of the supported platform list completely...time to move to Sun (Can I say that here or will it be censored?!!) Yikes!! Actually, we have moved those tools to NT.
Thanks again!
