/usr/lib/dld.sl : Can't find path for shared library: libsafestrings.sl

[Vic S. Kelan]

Hi
I get this error while starting a tuxedo server.
"/usr/lib/dld.sl : Can't find path for shared library: libsafestrings.sl"
I have my SHLIB_PATH set as shown below, I noticed this on the /usr/lib/dld.sl file of two machines:

WORKING MACHINE
=================
WORKING:what dld.sl
dld.sl:
SMART_BIND
92453-07 dld dld dld.sl B.11.38 031218
WORKING: ll dld.sl
-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 241664 Jul 1 2004 dld.sl

export SHLIB_PATH=$TUXDIR/lib:/opt/lib/cobol/lib

PROBLEM MACHINE
===============
PROBLEM: what dld.sl
dld.sl:
SMART_BIND
92453-07 dld dld dld.sl B.11.18 000922
PROBLEM: ll dld.sl
-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 155648 Nov 14 2000 dld.sl

export SHLIB_PATH=/usr/lib:/usr/conf/h:$ORACLE_HOME/lib:$TUXDIR/lib

Can anyone help with some suggestions........... why i have this problem......

See if the files referred to in SHLIB_PATH are in the /usr/lib directory.

Make sure the shell is right and not a shell that one allow for one line export, or change the SHLIB command to a two line statement, set then export

Vic,
also might try getting the latest "link loader" patch for you problem system. thinking that dld.sh might be 3 years older than your working system dynamic link-loader version.

also, run the "chatr" command on your executable and see what shared libs show from the CHATR report.

Hi,

DO you have "libsafestrings.sl" file in your PROBLEM MACHINE? If yes, check whether the path to this file is specified in the " LD_LIBRARY_PATH" variable.

Also, check the thread http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/ forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=821909

Check your tuxedo server binary with chatr to see if use of SHLIB_PATH is enabled. You should also see libsafestrings.sl in chatr output ("shared library list").

$ chatr

You should see a line

SHLIB_PATH enabled second

If it says "disabled", then SHLIB_PATH will be disregarded.

SHLIB_PATH disabled second

The following will enable use of SHLIB_PATH

$ chatr +s enable

Hi All,

Thanks all for the response, starting from the most recent:
Ermin, thanks, SHLIB_PATH is enabled already

Suraj, actually am missing some patches u listed, we are up for patch in 2 weeks and that should cover them, also the link on the LD_LIBRARY_PATH" seems not to work.

Tom, thanks, yes its a concern about the age difference on the dynamic link loader.

SEP, yes files referred to in SHLIB_PATH are in the /usr/lib directory.

Having said all this, the developer of the app we tried to run believes the problem is that he had been dynamically linking to the library which is a no no.....(?) will let you know how this goes when I exhaust all the options, THANKS!
