Invalid shared library file

I have just re-installed 10.20 on a K580..I am trying to install a couple of patches and I keep get "/usr/lib/dld.sl invalid shared library file :/usr/lib/libc.1"

Any ideas why I would be getting these messages

Re: Invalid shared library file

Have you got the latest 10.20 libc cumulative patch installed ? The on on my system is PHCO_25640 (probably not the latest).

Re: Invalid shared library file

hi,

I you've really lost libc.1, then on a 10.20 you will get very few commands available. If it's the case, just get one (from another system), or restore permissions :

> ll /usr/lib/libc.1
-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 1888256 Jan 19 1999 /usr/lib/libc.1

All static commands should work (in /sbin).

Re: Invalid shared library file

As usual, check PATHs and permissions first. We had this problem recently, and the LIBPATH variable was set incorrectly.
