  • 1.  weird behaviour of libC.a file

    We have apache 2.0 http server(64 bit) configured with our application on AIX 5.3 and AIX 5.2

    Issue is that apache 2.0 http server is able to load our application module on AIX 5.2 and everything is working fine but incase of AIX 5.3 its giving an error as "not able to load dynamic object: Not enough space".
    To resolve this issue we replacd the libC.a on AIX5.3 with libC.a on AIX5.2, and then Apache server was able to load our application module.
    The level of xlC.aix50.rte on AIX 5.2 is 8.0.0.2 whereas on AIX 5.3 it is 9.0.0.1

    we tried to figure out the reason of this behaviour,we found that the permission of libC.a(of AIX 5.3, -r--r--r--) and libC.a(of AIX 5.2,-rw-r-----) is different so for that we changed the permission of libC.a(AIX 5.3)as -rw-r----- and started the apache server.Apache server got started and was able to load our application module.

    Is there any issues with the permission of libC.a ???

    Also is there any bug related to xlC.aix50.rte9.0.0.1.??

    Please reply.

    Thanks.

    But I have not upgraded to the v9 compiler yet.
    I would assume read access for every boby is normal.

    On my fresh install of AIX6 and the v9 compiler I get
    1. ls -l /usr/lpp/xlC/lib/aix61/libC.a
    -r--r--r-- 1 bin bin 7999610 Aug 14 15:09 /usr/lpp/xlC/lib/aix61/libC.a
    As for bugs - surely that is what AIX Support is for and they have a massive database called Retain to look up bugs, fixes and every question ever asked!
