/usr/lib/dld.sl: Can't shl_load() a library containing Thread Local Storage: /usr/lib/libpthread.1

[sunil_23]

Hi All,
One of our shared library on HP-UX 11.0, lets call it A, links to the ldap shared library libssldap50.sl When our process say B tries to load the shared library A then it fails with error :- " /usr/lib/dld.sl: Can't shl_load() a library containing Thread Local Storage: /usr/lib/libpthread.1 ". Could you please tell me the cause for this and the recommended solutions?

check for
Pthread library cumulative patch
PHCO_26960

This patch has a dependency patch which requires a reboot.

from man shl_load:

>>
If the shared library contains thread local storage, you cannot load it with this routine.

Because, as you can find further:

>>
Users are encouraged to migrate to the dl* family of dynamic linking routines.

Is process B is compiled by you? If yes, you could try to rearange library linking list... Mayby this could help. If no, I have no more idea.

Good luck
