HI All,

Install ncat on several LPARs but strangely enough on only two of them are getting this error:

->ncat
exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program ncat because of the following errors:
        0509-150   Dependent module /opt/freeware/lib/liblua.a(liblua-5.3.so) could not be loaded.
        0509-152   Member liblua-5.3.so is not found in archive

/opt/freeware/lib64/liblua-5.3.so

-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     system       533344 Feb 28 2019  /opt/freeware/lib/liblua-5.3.so

Reinstalled ncat but no change.

Suggestions?

Thanks.

Summary     : Powerful light-weight programming language
Description :
Lua is a powerful light-weight programming language designed for
extending applications. Lua is also frequently used as a
general-purpose, stand-alone language. Lua is free software.
Lua combines simple procedural syntax with powerful data description
constructs based on associative arrays and extensible semantics. Lua
is dynamically typed, interpreted from bytecodes, and has automatic
memory management with garbage collection, making it ideal for
configuration, scripting, and rapid prototyping.

Looks like the library got corrupted. Reinstall this version of lua once again.
