Restoring from Aleph v20 to v18: error while loading shared libraries: libcobrts
- Article Type: General
- Product: Aleph
- Product Version: 18.01
Description:
Because of a problem in the upgrade we needed to roll back to Aleph v18. I followed the instructions in Appendix D of the AIK manual for re-linking Cobol. However, now when I try to start Aleph I'm getting this error message:
/exlibris/aleph/a18_1/aleph/exe/rts32: error while loading shared libraries: libcobrts.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Resolution:
Looking in the /exlibris/aleph/a18_1/product/local directory, I see this:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 aleph exlibris 24 Aug 16 10:47 cobol -> /exlibris/product/cobol5/
drwxrwxr-x 18 aleph exlibris 4096 Aug 16 11:57 cobol_old/
So it still has the link to /exlibris/product/cobol5/ created as part of the v20 install. It needs to be reverted to the cobol_old.
You do this by:
> cd /exlibris/aleph/a18_1/product/local
> rm cobol
> mv cobol_old cobol
