$ rrdtool

exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program rrdtool because of the following errors:

0509-130 Symbol resolution failed for /opt/freeware/lib/librrd.a(librrd.so.8) because:

dependent module /opt/freeware/lib/libdbi.a(libdbi.so.1).

0509-192 Examine .loader section symbols with the

'dump -Tv' command.

I checked the libdbi package and it was a the newest level and had been working with the previous version of rrdtool. I backed out the new version of the package and reinstalled version 1.7.0-3. This resolved the issue and the rrdtool command returned the normal response:

It would seem that there is a bug in the rrdtool version 1.7.0-4. Has anyone else run into this issue? If so, is there a fix to get the new version working?

Thanks,

I don't think you have the latest libdbi package. 

The latest one is 0.8.4 version. It does have the symbols mentioned here and rrdtool 1.7.0-4 works with this.

Check "rpm -qa | grep libdbi"

If found , run "rpm -qi libdbi"

Ayappan,

That did occur to me, but I am running version 0.8.4 of libdbi.

#: / >rpm -qa |grep -i libdbi
libdbi-0.8.4-1.ppc
libdbi-devel-0.8.4-1.ppc

I checked the yum repository and that is the newest version available.

Summary     : Database Independent Abstraction Layer for C
Description :
libdbi implements a database-independent abstraction layer in C, similar to the
DBI/DBD layer in Perl. Writing one generic set of code, programmers can
leverage the power of multiple databases and multiple simultaneous database
connections by using this framework.

The libdbi package contains just the libdbi framework.  To make use of
libdbi you will also need one or more plugins from libdbi-drivers, which
contains the plugins needed to interface to specific database servers.

The library is available as 32-bit and 64-bit.

Okay, so this libdbi package is from perzl and not from AIX Toolbox.

Please reinstall it from AIX Toolbox and it will solve this issue.

Ayappan,

By resinstalling the libdbi with the AIX Toolbox build, the issue was resolved. 

Thanks for the assistance.
