libl.2

[H.Merijn Brand (procura]

Got an application that was marked to be compiled for 11.11, but knowing the vendor, one might doubt their statements :)

I've only got 11.00, and the application core's with "unable to open /usr/lib/libl.2". Now that's correct, since I don't have it. Is that lib 11i specific? Could it be used on 11.00, by just fetching it out of it's original archive? (I've got 11i on CD here) Or is that like jumping in a snake pit?

Hi Procora

I cant see you doing any damage by extracting a new file on to the system and testing .

I see your catching mr up on the points again !!!

cheers
John.

libl.2 is 11.11 specific.

on hpux11.11 /usr/lib/libl.sl -> ./libl.2
though on an old hpux-11.0 I see /usr/lib/libl.sl -> ./libl.1.

I suspect simply copying over the lib without recompiling the application will make no difference, you could use chatr to see what libs the appplication was built with though .... or ask the vendor to supply an 11.00 binary presumably built using libl.1 ?

John, you're running away from me. The diff is growing. I'll try to catch up so we can leave Harry Potter's schhol (in dutch Zweinstein) together proudly wearing a pointed hat :)

Alex, I've installed libl.2 from the 11i CD in the appropriate places - without the symlinks of course - and, so far so good (fingers crossed) no core dumps, no additional requirements (yet).

Still got an icky feeling that this cannot go right :)
