linking problem in hpux11.11

[Ravinder Kaul]

Hi,

I am trying to load a shared libary which is compiled with -lpthread.
The dlopen gives the below error .
/usr/lib/dld.sl:Can't shl_load() a library containing Thread Local Storage: /usr/lib/libpthread.1
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Exec format error

I exported LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libpthread.1
it worked.
But the LD_PRELOAD causes bus error in some of the tools such as "clearcase" etc.

Can anybody suggest some ideas ?

Thanks
Praveen

Hi

For stuff like clearcase check with your supplier.If you are giving threaded libs to a non threaded application you may get odd results.

Hi Steve

Thanks for the reply. This does not happen only with clearcase. From the other threads what I could gather was that this is a limitation of shl_load() system call. That patch is not installed on the system. The system may need to be patched
