Aleph on AIX servers: command wget fails when called by UNIX user aleph
- Article Type: General
- Product: Aleph
Problem Symptoms:
The command wget fails with the following error message when called by the UNIX user aleph:
$ wget
exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program wget because of the following errors:
0509-150 Dependent module /usr/lib/libcrypto.a(libcrypto.so.0) could not be loaded.
0509-152 Member libcrypto.so.0 is not found in archive
Cause:
(1)
When the UNIX user aleph enters the command wget, the file /exlibris/aleph/a20_1/product/bin/wget is found.
(2)
The file /exlibris/aleph/a20_1/product/bin/wget is a symbolic link to the executable binary file /exlibris/product/bin/wget.
(3)
The file /exlibris/product/bin/wget is linked to the module libcrypto.so.0:
------------------------------------------------------------------
$ dump -H /exlibris/product/bin/wget
[...]
INDEX PATH BASE MEMBER
0 /opt/freeware/lib:/usr/lib:/lib
1 libc.a shr.o
2 libintl.a libintl.so.1
3 libcrypto.a libcrypto.so.0
4 libssl.a libssl.so.0
------------------------------------------------------------------
(4)
However, the module libcrypto.so.0 is not present in the archive file /usr/lib/libcrypto.a. Instead the archive file libcrypto.a includes a module named libcrypto.so.0.9.8:
------------------------------------------------------------------
$ dump -Tv /usr/lib/libcrypto.a | head
/usr/lib/libcrypto.a[libcrypto.so.0.9.8]:
[...]
------------------------------------------------------------------
Resolution:
(1)
Check if the executable file /exlibris/product/util/wget exists on the Aleph server. This file can load all dependent modules. Therefore one can execute it without any problems:
$ /exlibris/product/util/wget --version
GNU Wget 1.12 built on aix5.3.0.0.
[...]
(2)
In order to allow the UNIX user aleph to execute the file /exlibris/product/util/wget by entering the command wget, change the target of the symbolic link /exlibris/product/util/wget
from: /exlibris/product/bin/wget
to: /exlibris/product/util/wget
