strange error message

[Nyck_1]

I have a server running 11.11 and its having the below issue:-

ldd /usr1/arbor/3p/../3pxml/xerces/HPUX/lib/libxerces-c.sl.21
Pid 2696 killed due to text modification or page I/O error

there is nothing in the syslog.log file and swap is not being used. Any ideas as to what could be causing this issue?

Its only started happening today and there has been no changes made on the server for ages.

Shalom,

Check that the file exists.
Check that it is on the SHLIB_PATH variable.

Check the file itself is the same as on some other system. The file itself could have been altered.

It could be a problem with whatever files your application is trying to modify as well.

yeah I checked that earlier and was unable to find it. I have rebooted the server as it had been up 162 days and am awaiting a response from them to see if the issue is fixed.

Exactly, I have it happen all of the time over NFS. The server is changing the executable nightly but if the client is still running it may get these errors.

Also, sometimes over NFS, if I hit control-C, I get that error.

You may be able to clean it up by unmounting and remounting. Or try a rm on the file. (Of course you will have to make a copy of it.)
