lsof : ver 4.69 : compiled for 32 bit kernel error

[Q4you]

I could not execute "lsof" as root or normal user on a HPUX 11.0 ( K class) system after installing 4.67 ot 4.69 ver of "lsof"

During installation of lsof 4.69, got this error in the swinstall log. Though, its gets completed with errors.

* Kbytes: 239
* Installing fileset "lsof.lsof-RUN,r=4.69" (1 of 1).
ERROR: Unknown owner and/or group for file "/usr/local/bin/lsof".
SUID and/or SGID bit was not set.
ERROR: Failed installing fileset "lsof.lsof-RUN,r=4.69". Check the
above output for details.

Upon running lsof, I get error
# ./lsof
lsof: FATAL: lsof was built for a 32 bit kernel, but this
is a 64 bit kernel.

Objective : How a normal user get the list of open files associated with a proces or a directory ?

TIA,

Here is a link to lsof for an 11.0 64 bit kernel. Download and install.

Thanks for the link...

Downloaded the lsof_4.69.gz file but it seems gunzip could not open this .gz file.

Ok, then, let's try attaching the binary for you.

Copied the file as lsof_new, chmod +x,

$ ./lsof_new
lsof_new: can't open /dev/kmem: Permission denied

Found solution to the above problem. It runs as root but gives error runing as normal user. Set the setuid bit for normal user, it works now for normal users.
