  • 1.  Not able to update latest python package in AIX

    Hi Team,

    I am getting error when we are trying to update packages. Please suggest.

     /opt/freeware/bin/dnf update -y

    Hi

    Dependent module /software/syncsort/lib/libgcc_s.a(shr.o) could not be loaded.
            The module has an invalid magic number.

    How did you install this file /software/syncsort/lib/libgcc_s.a?





    Thanks
    Ranjit

    The syncsort software is used by application team and they used it. so it might have been installed during syncsort installation.

    Hi

    I am suspecting that some LIBPATH is exported in your system environment and because of this, libgcc_s.a is picked from /software/syncsort/lib/.
    But this library is not compatible with dnf.

    Can you check and unset LIBPATH if some value is set ?After unsetting the LIBPATH, try to update the package. 


    Thanks

    Ranjit

    Hi,

    I had this issue at a previous company for which I worked that used syncsort (this is not opensource, it's a product from Precisely) as part of their application.  As Ranjit has said, it's LIBPATH.  You'll need to remove /software/syncsort/lib/ from root's LIBPATH, but it will need to remain in the LIBPATH of the syncsort users or they won't be able to run syncsort.

    The other thing that you may need to look at, is that any user that wants to use /opt/freeware/bin/python3.9 and syncsort (most likely a developer, not end user) will have to change their LIBPATH as appropriate for the software that they wish to run.

    Phill.

    Thank you Ranjit and Phil. 

    We have unset the LIBPATH and then try to update and it works. Synsort used to run with root. So haven't removed from LIBPATH environment.

    Maybe moving the LIBPATH setting into the script that starts syncsort is a good idea. In general you don't want system-wide settings for LIBPATH.
