rsync error - libpopt.sl

[Kim Kendall]

Had issues with rsync (HPUX 11.0)- was getting the error:

rsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at main.c(578)

So I downloaded v2.6.2 to install, but the install complained that gettext was missing, so I got it (v0.14.1) and installed both of them without any errors.

Now when I run rsync, I get the error:

/usr/lib/dld.sl: Can't open shared library: /usr/local/lib/libpopt.sl
/usr/lib/dld.sl: No such file or directory

Where can I find this library? Looks like it used to be there (no error before), now it's not??

Hi,

Looks like it's part of 'popt' tool.

http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Development/Libraries/popt-1.7/

I could see this file under it's contents.

cured one error - now I get:

/usr/lib/dld.sl: Can't open shared library: /usr/local/lib/libiconv.sl
/usr/lib/dld.sl: No such file or directory

Looks like quite a few dependencies are missing. Thsi should be part of libiconv.

Looks good. It got past the original error (main.c).

Thanks!

Just wanted to say thank you! I ran into the same problem, followed your answer and it seemed okay.

Did you have any problems after installing popt and libiconv ?

That was all it took to get past the problem. Works okay now.

Very similar experience for me...

rsync-2.6.2-sd-11.00.depot install was fine when installed along with gettext-0.14.1-sd-11.00.depot, but got same errors upon executing rsync binary.

Resolved in same way by installing...
- libiconv-1.9.2-sd-11.00.depot
- popt-1.7-sd-11.00.depot

libiconv was noted as a dependency for gettext, but popt was not (as far as I could see). Anyway, it works now.

Thanks all!
