SHLIB path is ignored for non-root user in HP-UX11iv3

[kumasudh]

Hi,

I am facing a issue with the ld fails to load the Shared lib for my 32-bit application as 'Non-root' user.
here are some details..

here is the LIB Path for non root user..
$ echo $SHLIB_PATH
/uorabin/app/oracle/client/product/10/lib32:/uorabin/app/oracle/client/product/10/rdbms/lib32
$ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/uorabin/app/oracle/client/product/10/lib:/lib:/usr/lib:/uorabin/app/oracle/client/product/10/rdbms/lib

the permission ofr my application are
-r-sr-xr-- 1 root ocadmin

Could somebody please help to figure out why the SHLIB path is being ignored for 'Non-root' user.

Thanks,
Best Regards

Hi,

first - is the non-root user in the group 'ocadmin'?
Then - where is the setting of SHLIB_PATH defined? Have you checked for cryptic letters in the path setting?
Is the directoy and the lib readable for the user (ls ....)?

Hi,

Yes this No-root user belongs to ocadmin group and has got oinstall as secondry group.SHLIB path is been exported in the .profile of this Non-root user . What do you mean by cryptic letters in the path ?
yes this Non-root user has permission for the $ORACLE_HOME/lib32 directory.

Thanks and Regards,

The security police won't let SUID root applications look at SHLIB_PATH/LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

You must bribe the police by including the paths in: /etc/dld.sl.conf

Hi Denis,

You answer triggred me to look once again at the /etc/dld.sl.conf file. though it was there and has got the entry which was looking like "/uorabin/app/oracle/product/10/lib32/" where on my testbed the path is "/uorabin/app/oracle/client/product/10/lib32/" . As the path was looking like same and hence i didn't bother to check it closely.

I have updated my /etc/dld.sl.conf with the correct path and now it's working fine.

Thanks a lot for the help.

Best Regards
