expect, tcl, oratcl problem

[Turgay Cavdar]

Hi all,
I installed tcltk-8.4.14 from http://hpux.cs.utah.edu on hp-ux 11.23 (Itanium). I also installed oratcl4.4 and expect 5.43. The problem is when we try to run our scripts it give the error:
/usr/lib/hpux32/dld.so: Unable to find library '/u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0/client_1/lib/libclntsh.sl'.
Oratcl_Init(): Failed to load /u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0/client_1/lib/libclntsh.sl with error

while executing
"load /usr/local/lib/Oratcl4.4/libOratcl4.4.sl"
("package ifneeded" script)
invoked from within
"package require Oratcl"
(file "/opt/omd/bin/execsql" line 2)

Ok there is no librray called "libclntsh.sl" , actually this must be libclntsh.so. Any ssuggestions?

Did you get all the Run-time dependencies mentioned on the pages, see e.g.

http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Tcl/expect-5.43/

[Turgay Cavdar]

yes

[Sandman!]

Are you sure you downloaded the Itanium version of the tcltk source code since the ".sl" extension for shared libs applies to PARISC while the ".so" extension is for IPFs.

[Turgay Cavdar]

I am sure i installed the itanium version, i download the source code and compile it. But the result is the same it still asks for ".sl" . I think, i need to compile tcl source code with a special way. Any one can help about this?

You may have to rebuild but you could try setting up a symlink from .sl to .so.

[Turgay Cavdar]

i alreadt tried the symbolic link but it is not succesful also.

[Dennis Handly]

>/usr/lib/hpux32/dld.so: Unable to find library

This message indicates you are using IPF.

>i already tried the symbolic link but it is not succesful

What does file(1) say about /u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0/client_1/lib/libclntsh.sl
(Or where you put that symlink.)

[Turgay Cavdar]

Dennis you are right about the link, i was linked to 64 bit libraries so it was not working i tried to link to $ORACLE_HOME/lib32 then tcl successfulyy call the oratcl.
But expect scripts still gives error. When i call tcl from an expect script such as:
#!/usr/local/bin/expect
package require Oratcl

it gives the error:
tel1t1:/tmp#./testt.exp
/usr/lib/hpux32/dld.so: Cannot dlopen load module '/usr/lib/hpux32/libpthread.so.1' because it contains thread specific data.
Oratcl_Init(): Failed to load /u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0/client_1/lib32/libclntsh.so with error
Oratcl_Init(): ORACLE_LIBRARY = /u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0/client_1/lib32/libclntsh.so : file not found.

Any suggestions about this?

>/usr/lib/hpux32/dld.so: Cannot dlopen load module '/usr/lib/hpux32/libpthread.so.1' because it contains thread specific data.

You need to link expect with -lpthread.

Or there may be a non-threaded version of libclntsh?

I installed expect from the depot with the command swinstall -s /file.depot. And it is successfully but when i try to compile from binary with the command ./configure --enable-threads --enable-shared --with-tcl=/usr/local/lib/tcltk --with-tk=/usr/local/lib/tcltk and run make i failed.It stops with the fallowing error:

Stop.

How can compile expect with the option -lpthread ?
Thanks...

[Dennis Handly]

How did you add -lpthread to the link line? Did you remove an existing lib or change the order? Do you know what lib has those exp* symbols? expStateAnyIs ...

You can search your libs and objects with:
$ nm -pxAN libs ... objs | fgrep -e expStateAnyIs -e expStateCheck ...

(Upper case would be definitions.)

If you don't know how to fiddle with the build system, you could always use: LDOPTS=-lpthread

Or going back to your initial version, if you use:
$ LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/hpux32/libpthread.so.1 ./testt.exp

[Turgay Cavdar]

As you said when i export LD_PRELOAD then expect works fine.

Thanks, Dennis...
