Samba 3.0.1 startup problem

[David Mores]

I have a built from source 3.0.1 smbd/nmbd program that will startup on one server system running hpux11.11, but will not startup on another system.

On the problem system smbd and nmbd both abort immediately with the log message:

[2004/01/22 17:42:06, 0] smbd/server.c:main(747)
smbd version 3.0.1 started.

/usr/lib/dld.sl: Internal Error 2004
/usr/lib/dld.sl: No such file or directory

[2004/01/22 17:42:15, 0] nmbd/nmbd.c:main(664)
Netbios nameserver version 3.0.1 started.
Copyright Andrew Tridgell and the Samba Team 1994-2003
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Internal Error 2004
/usr/lib/dld.sl: No such file or directory

The mystery here is what is error 2004 and what file or directory cannot be found?

Version 2.2.8a runs just fine on this problem system, but after shutdown and startup of 3.0.1, it bombs out. Switching back to 2.2.8a works just fine.

You may need to recompile on each server.

Try it on one, it might help.

It was compiled on the problem server with no change in behavior.

Hi David,

It's been my experience that *most* of the time when you see /usr/lib/dld.sl: No such file or directory error or any loader type error, you probably have an environment problem - typically something like an incorrect SHLIB_PATH or some other LIB path issue.

Check your environments - IF you have both Samba versions on this system they *have* to be in diff locations. Is the environment changed between these sessions to reflect this?

Rgds,
Jeff

Yes both version are on the system in different directory trees. I just switch where a link file points to start one or the other.

I too suspect a library environment problem, but am stumped as to how to track it down with the critical filename information not provided.

The startup environment is identical for each with the exception of the path to the target version. No SHLIB_PATH is being used.

Problem solved by installing ld(1) and linker tools cumulative patch PHSS_26560.

David,

I was wondering if that patch was listed as a pre-requisite on the website you got Samba from?

Just curious.
