Oracle 7.3.4.5 startup problems cold install hpux10.20

[Peter Spanhaak]

After reinstalling HPUxB10.20A , due to make_recovery problems,Oracle will not startup with the following errror:

/usr/lib/libdld.sl unresolved charater(s) _atxit (exitcode) from /usr/lib/libdld.1

Does this ring a bell?

Hi Peter,

You probably need to relink ORACLE;

1) as user oracle (or database owner) cd to $ORACLE_HOME/bin
mkdir orig
mv oracle svrmgrl sqlplus orig/

cd ${ORACLE_HOME}/svrmgr/lib
make -f ins_svrmgr.mk svrmgrl
mv svrmgrl ${ORACLE_HOME}/bin/
cd ${ORACLE_HOME}/rdbms/lib
make -f ins_rdbms.mk oracle
chmod 6755 oracle
mv oracle ${ORACLE_HOME}/bin/
cd ${ORACLE_HOME}/sqlplus/lib
make -f ins_sqlplus.mk sqlplus
mv sqlplus ${ORACLE_HOME}/bin

You may get a few warning messages in the makes; these are normal.

REgards, Clay

Hi Peter:

I recently encountered the need to relink Oracle binaries on HP-UX 10.20 with Oracle 7.3.4.4 to correct a similar problem after applying the March 2001 GR bundle. Depending on how you restored (?) your Oracle binaries, you might want to try relinking.
