Hi,

I have a pretty basic question on shared libraries and HP-UX. The third
party product Secure Path uses a command
"/sbin/spmgr". However this command instantly dies becuase it cannot find
the shared library call pthread_mutex_create, which is found in
/usr/lib/libpthread. The Secure Path daemon "spagent" appears to run fine.

Here the info:

% spmgr display
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Unresolved symbol: pthread_mutex_lock (code) from spmgr
Abort(coredump)

The unresolved symbol is in /usr/lib/libpthread.1 - a nm show it is there.
% nm /usr/lib/libpthread.1 | grep pthread_mutex_lock
__pthread_mutex_lock| 59344|extern|entry |
__pthread_mutex_lock| 59368|extern|code |$CODE$
pthread_mutex_lock | 59320|extern|entry |
pthread_mutex_lock | 59368|extern|code |$CODE$


Library paths do not seem correct for spmgr:

chatr of spmgr:
shared executable
shared library dynamic path search:
SHLIB_PATH disabled second
embedded path disabled first Not Defined
shared library list:
dynamic /usr/lib/libstd.2
dynamic /usr/lib/libstream.2
dynamic /usr/lib/libCsup.2
dynamic /usr/lib/libm.2
dynamic /usr/lib/libcl.2
dynamic /usr/lib/libc.2
static /usr/lib/libdld.2
shared library binding:
deferred

chatr of spagent:
shared executable
shared library dynamic path search:
SHLIB_PATH disabled second
embedded path disabled first Not Defined
shared library list:
dynamic /usr/lib/libpthread.1
dynamic /usr/lib/libstd.2
dynamic /usr/lib/libstream.2
dynamic /usr/lib/libCsup.2
dynamic /usr/lib/libm.2
dynamic /usr/lib/libcl.2
dynamic /usr/lib/libc.2
static /usr/lib/libdld.2
shared library binding:
deferred

Is it easy to use a chatr command to enable SHLIB_PATH to be used, or can I
embed another path in the header?

Thank you,
