X11 linking problem

[Clyde Mehornay Jr]

On the HP-UX 10.20 systems I am responsible for, I am getting an error attempting to start the application MatrixX 6.0-2:

When a user is on the system console, logged in as themselves (not root), attempting to start MatrixX produces:

>Invoking Xmath:
>/export/home/MatrixX_v6.0-2/ISI/hp_mx_60.2/xmath/bin/xm.csh
>/usr/lib/dld.sl: Unresolved symbol: bcopy (code) from
>/usr/lib/libXhp11.2
>IOT trap (core dumped)

BUT, sitting at a Sun system, logged into the HP-UX system, the application comes up without this problem. There appears to be a missing routine (bcopy) wanted by the Xserver running on the HP-UX box.

I normally administer this system remotely, so I don't know whether this problem has always been present. This is not a recent install, but various and sundry patches have since been installed, mostly security-related.

I am not sure but this line
usr/lib/dld.sl: Unresolved symbol: bcopy

May be a problem in linker patch on hp system

Search for "ld" patch and install it on hp system. it will not reboot your system.

Hi,

bcopy is found in /usr/lib/libc.sl

You can check this with nm /usr/lib/libc.sl | grep bcopy

If you can start other x-clients with display
on teh hp-ux box I would guess it is Matrix
application that has some problem.
Check if it requires som special setting of
the SHLIB_PATH
