Record #2492

Product Family:  Software

Product Line:  Merged Core

Problem Title:
MAP Error:  ld.so.1: map: fatal: relocation error: symbol not found:


Problem Description:
Keywords: map install patch fatal error relocation symbol

Urgency: standard

General Description:
Errors like the following can occur when there is a mismatch
between an executable and shared library.

Example:

  ld.so.1: map: fatal: relocation error: symbol not found:
  __0fLTECHMAP_SIGHispowerv: referenced in
  /export/vol2/m1_2_11_patch/xc4000/bin/sol/libx4kma.so


Usually seen after installing a patch for Map to a separate,
"MYXILINX" tree Map without also modifying the $PATH and
$LD_LIBRARY_PATH.


Solution 1:

Executables are found using the $PATH variable and base
shared libraries are found using the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
variable ($SHLIB_PATH for HP).

It's important that the MYXILINX path appear *FIRST* in both
environment variable specifications, so that both the patched
executables and the patched shared libraries are used.

The following is an example of how to change from a standard
environment to an environment that accesses a patch in a
separate location using the MYXILINX variable:

  setenv MYXILINX /home/litespeed/patches/x1_2.11/map/sun
  setenv PATH $MYXILINX/bin/sun:${PATH}
  setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $MYXILINX/bin/sun:{$LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
