Can't dlopen() a library containing Thread Local Storage - Incorrect path beinh taken

[Pankaj Agrawal]

I have built an executable that dlopens a shared lib. Both the exe and the lib are PARISC1.1.

The shared lib thats dlopen'ed by the exe is dependent on libjvm.sl. While building the shared lib, I have used -Wl,+s linker option and used java1.4 for linking i.e. something like -L/opt/java1.4/jre/lib/PA_RISC/server/ -ljvm.

However, when I am testing ans trying to run the exe on another machine that has java 1.5, I get an error saying that

Can't dlopen() a library containing Thread Local Storage: /opt/java1.4/jre/lib/PA_RISC/server//libjvm.sl

I am getting this even though I have set SHLIB_PATH to java1.5 paths and also set LD_PRELOAD to java1.5 libjvm.sl. Why is the SHLIB_PATH not being taken even when +s linker flag has been specified while building the shared lib?

Can someone help me out?

You seemed to have used the right options and ENV vars.

I suppose for your "other" machine, you could try to use the java1.4 libs to see if that works.

Otherwise try using ldd(1) to see why the variables aren't working:

export SHLIB_PATH=...
LD_PRELOAD=.../java1.5/.../libjvm.sl ldd your-shlib

See if there is more than one libjvm.sl?

Can you show us the chatr(1) output on your shlib?

I suppose you could also use tusc to see what libs are being opened during loading.
