ssh 4.3p2 not working

[prisca3]

I am running HP-UX 10.20. I have had an old version of ssh on it which was working fine.

I just upgraded to ssh 4.3p2 and ssl 0.9.7j.
But ssh dont work any more

#ssh -v
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Can't open shared library: /pro/local/lib/libz.sl
/usr/lib/dld.sl: No such file or directory
Abort(coredump)


swlist returns the following
2.11.2 binutils
2.95.2 gcc
4.3p2 openssh
0.9.7j openssl
5.6.0 perl

Do I need more s/w or upgrade the gcc etc to get ssh working again. Any help is appreciated

Prisca3,

Did you installed the correct version of ssh , as your os is 10.20 , it should support that version. from where did you got the s/w , looks like version missmatch.

hth.

Looks like you're missing the zlib compression library. In your old version, it was compiled statically into ssh, but this new version apparently requires it as a separate shared library.

Did you compile this yourself? If you did, how did you manage to get it to compile without the zlib package? If not, you probably don't need gcc nor perl just for running SSH.

Thank you for your replies.

I did not complile it myself.I downloaded the s/w depot fom the site below

OK, then you will need to install either this package:

http://mirrors.develooper.com/hpux/libz-1.2.1-pa1.1.tgz

or this package:

http://mirrors.develooper.com/hpux/libz-1.1.4-pa1.1.tgz

Note that if these install to /pro/local/lib, you might want to do something to prevent cluttering your root filesystem. Perhaps a new LV, or simply a symlink from /pro/local to /usr/local?

The name of this library is a strange thing: some people call it "libz", but the developers say it's "zlib". (For information, see http://www.zlib.net/ )
