SYS ADM: tar_assembly does not work

[Eric Olivas]

Problem Description:

I am having problems when I want to tar a assembly part file. The following is what I type and the message that is returned to me:

# tar_assembly beambox_support_stand.prt
Pack beambox_support_stand.prt into beambox_support_stand.tar
/usr/lib/pa20_64/dld.sl: Unable to find library 'libsyss.sl'.

What should I do?

Configuration info

Operating System - HP-UX
Version 11.00 64 bit


Thanks,

Looks like you are running a script, which may or may not have a "tar" command.

It is probabily executing some command ported into your HPUX system, but may have not been built right or requires other support libraries for it to run.

tar_assembly doesn't exist in HP-UX so it's probably a script. You'll need to trace what the script is doing. Start by verifying whether tar_assembly is truly a script or a compiled program:

file $(whence tar_assembly)

If it says something like text, awk text, etc, then you can list the first few lines to see if the writer put in an interpreter line such as #!/usr/bin/sh. If the interpreter line is sh or ksh (or bash) the run the tar_assembly program by typing in the name of the interpreter, then -x and then the name of the script as in:

sh -x tar_assembly beambox_support_stand.prt

That will now display all the steps in the script and point to the failure location.

If the tar_assembly file is a program, you'll have to find the programmer.

Hi Eric,

You need to investigate and debug the script.


Execute the script with -x option, to know where its gettin gproblem.

# sh -x tar_assembly commands..


Cheers,
Raj.

To all,

Thanks for all the suggestions. I was able to resolve the problem. The tar_assembly command is located and run in a UNIX sub-shell in Unigraphic.

Once again thanks,
Eric
