invalid system id

[Koestlmeier Sibylle]

We have a J282 workstation and installed the 64-Bit Version of HP-UX 11.0. When trying to compile C code with the ANSI C compiler I get an error message from the loader:

/usr/ccs/bin/ld: : Not a valid object file (invalid system id)

How can I circumvent this problem (and install e.g. the gcc suite)?

Thanks, Sibylle

Hi Sibylle,

The following is an excerpt of an old support document that I found:-

This error is caused by the linker process, /bin/ld, detecting that one
of the object files being used was not produced on the same type of
Hewlett-Packard system as you are using.

The problem is the library 'lib.a'. Where did it originate? Could you obtain a compatible version?

Regards,
John
