pg command error

[FELIX WONG_1]

I've installed HP Tru 64 Unix v4.0G patch kit 4
last night.
Unfortunately, after the installation,
when I issue the "pg" (page command),
it returned wit the following error messages

12763:/usr/bin/pg: /sbin/loader: Error: Unresolved symbol in /usr/bin/pg: safe_open

12763:/usr/bin/pg: /sbin/loader: Fatal Error:
this executable has unresolvable symbols

It didn't appear before the patch kit 4.
Can someone please advise !

Thanks,

Felix Wong

Google finds some references, but no resolution.
I would start an investigation with ldd.
See what libraries pg expects and how they have changed (or not).
Supposedly this symbols comes from libc.

google: +tru64 +safe_open

Good luck,
Hein.


PROBLEM: (93908) (PATCH ID: OSF540-090)
********
This patch corrects a failure in the safe_open() routine which caused
symbolic links given by a relative path from the current working directory
sometimes to give ENOENT errors incorrectly. This was specific to having
no 'real' (non-".") leading components before the first symlink was found.

Hello, can you please check the install log for patch kit 4 to ensure that all the patches are installed sucessfully.

Why Tru64 4.0G? ... thats in Prior Version Support (see the URL below).

Only V5.1B is still in full support. Also, as far as I'm aware, I think V4.0G was really more of a hardware release to allow better compatability with fibre channel storage ... which was questionable at best. If you can, I'd look to upgrade to V5.1B ... otherwise downgrade to V4.0F
