/usr/lib/pa20_64/dld.sl: Unsatisfied code symbol

[Deepu Chakravarty]

I am installing oracle apps 11.5.10. The installation fails with the following error:

"/usr/lib/pa20_64/dld.sl: Unsatisfied code symbol 'gethrtime' in load module '/oracle/oracle9/testdb/9.2.0/bin/sqlplus'.
/oracle/oracle9/testdb/9.2.0/appsutil/install/adlnkoh.sh[198]: 2690 Abort(coredump)"

What could be the potential reasons of such error ? Anything specific to check on OS side ?

Hi deepu,

Check the file at this location. it should be something like this.


# CD /usr/lib/pa20_64
# ll dld.sl
-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 374600 Sep 9 13:55 dld.sl

it looks the file might have been corrupted. if so restore it from backup or copy from the someother server which is having the same os level.

regards,
Govind.

dld.sl is like as following:

# ll dld.sl
-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 236632 Nov 14 2000 dld.sl

Is it right ?

kindly install the patch :

Patch Description: s700_800 11.11 ld(1) and linker tools cumulative patch

this would solve your problem.

Deepu,
was sqlplus built successfully i.e. can you use sqlplus to log onto the db?
If sqlplus was not built, you may have to rebuild.

Hi Deepu,

Before running Oracle Apps 11.5.10, ensure that the required operating system patches are installed on your system. If you run Oracle on unpatched versions of the HP kernel, you will receive undefined and unresolved references to the gethrtime() library call.

HP/UX patches PHCO_23770, PHCO_23092 must be applied. For details on these patches, please contact HP for assistance.

The reason is gethrtime(void) function is a new funtion in libc and is not present in older versions of libraries, so this issue did not appear in prior versions. The referenced HP patches resolve the linking errors.
