Title
Sp_cop errors with "/usr/lib/dld.sl: Bad magic number for shared library" -
Description
After upgrading the Oracle database patch level sp_cop fails to start up with "usr/lib/dld.sl: Bad magic number for shared library: /3rd_party/oracle/product/9.2.0.8/lib/libclntsh.sl.9.0
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Exec format error"
$ ./sp_cop -uXXXX &
$ /usr/lib/dld.sl: Bad magic number for shared library: $ORACLE_HOME/9.2.0.8/lib/libclntsh.sl.9.0
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Exec format error -
Cause
This happens with all 32bit tools when running on HP PA-RISC when SHLIB_PATH is pointing to Oracle 64 bit libraries. Shareplex is a 32 bit application.
-
Resolution
Check the following environment variables:
$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
$SHLIB_PATH
Ensure that they are set to point to the oracle 32 bit libraries and restart sp_cop.
