Unresolved Symbol __ZStaticCtorTable_Start from /usr/lib/libCsup.2

[David Bushell]

We have 2 servers, one running 11.00 and the other running 11i, and we're trying to run an executable on both boxes. We build the executable on each box and everything build/linked fine, but when we try to run the executable on the 11.00 box we get this error:

/usr/lib/dld.sl: Unresolved symbol: __ZStaticCtorTable_Start (data) from /usr/lib/libCsup.2
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Unresolved symbol: __ZStaticCtorTable_End (data) from /usr/lib/libCsup.2
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Unresolved symbol: __StaticCtorTable_Start (data) from /usr/lib/libCsup.2
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Unresolved symbol: __StaticCtorTable_End (data) from /usr/lib/libCsup.2

[4] + Abort(coredump) iclserver -l &

I searched for these symbols on both boxes and this is what I came up with:

11.00 box
nm /usr/lib/libCsup.2 | grep -i StaticCtor
__StaticCtorTable_End| |undef |data |
__StaticCtorTable_End|1073755576|static|data |$DATA$CDTORCEND$
__StaticCtorTable_Start| |undef |data |
__StaticCtorTable_Start|1073755304|static|data |$DATA$CDTORC1$
__ZStaticCtorTable_End| |undef |data |
__ZStaticCtorTable_Start| |undef |data |

11i box
nm /usr/lib/libCsup.2 | grep -i StaticCtor
__StaticCtorTable_End| 102672|extern|data |$CODE$
__StaticCtorTable_End|1073756120|static|data |$DATA$CDTORCEND$
__StaticCtorTable_Start| 102672|extern|data |$CODE$
__StaticCtorTable_Start|1073755840|static|data |$DATA$CDTORC1$
__ZStaticCtorTable_End| 102672|extern|data |$CODE$
__ZStaticCtorTable_Start| 102672|extern|data |$CODE$

So I guess these symbols aren't defined on the 11.00 box? How to I go about fixing this? Thanks

I assume that you compiled on 11.11 and are trying to run on 11.0. The code is designed to be upwardly compatible but not downwardly. In a few cases, it will work but those are the exceptions.

[David Bushell]

I actually compiled/linked the program seperately on each box without a problem, it's just when I try to run the executable the problem arises.

Add libCsup_v2.sl to your 11.0 link.

Let me give you a technique to help you hunt these guys:

Gather all the symbols in 1 file; e.g:
cd /usr/lib

nm *.sl > /var/tmp/symlist

vi /var/tmp/symlist
Now Search for your symbols:
/ZStatic
When you find a match do a reverse search
?Symbols from
to display the library

I appreciate your help. I did an nm libCsup_v2.sl | grep StaticCtor and it came up with the same results as the libCsup.sl, server symbols are still listed as "undef".

the first step is to check that you have the absolute latest c++ runtime patches installed. check at http://ww.hp.com/go/c++ (the "latest versions and patches" link)

Is PHSS_26945 (superseded by PHSS_32574) installed on the 11.00 machine?
