Problem with shared library on HP integrity superdome

[yangxunj]

Hello! I'm now having a problem with my work on a HP integrity superdome server (itanium 2 CPU & HP-UX 11).
I need to run a software on the server, but there is only binary executable files available, no source code, I downloaded the IA64 edition and tried running it, only to have the error message:

interpreter "/lib/ld-linux-ia64.so.2" not found
file link resolves to "/usr/lib/ld-linux-ia64.so.2"
exec(2): could not load a.out

I have consulted the administrator, who told me that the software requires a lib file that doesn’t exist in the server /lib directory. I have googled for some info and found that the ‘.so’ type lib files are shared library files under linux, for UX the suffix is ‘.sl’. Someone say that, to copy a ld-linux-ia64.so file from somewhere to the /lib directory may help, so I’m here asking for help, does anyone who uses itanium-based computer have this lib file? Could you please send one to me? Deeply appreciate your help!


thanks!

This appears to be the LRE:

>for HP-UX the suffix is ".sl".

No, for Integrity the suffix was changed to the industry standard .so.
