Technote (troubleshooting)

Problem(Abstract)

Could not load program lftran: Dependent module libC.a(shr.o) could not be loaded invoking lftran

Symptom

GENTRAN: Server for UNIX, All releases

Cannot invoke lftran from command line.

Change: AIX 5.2 upgraded from ML 3 to 5.

Error Message

Invoking lftran from command line errors:

Could not load program lftran:
Dependent module libC.a(shr.o) could not be loaded.
Could not load module libC.a(shr.o).
System error: No such file or directory

Pointing to libC.a from ML 3 produces secondary error:

Could not load program lftran:
Dependent module /gentran/server60/prod/lib/libC.a(ansi_32.o) could not be loaded.
Member ansi_32.o is not found in archive

Resolving the problem

Solution

Force UNIX user id invoking lftran to find original /usr/vacpp/lib/libC.a

Edit environment variable LIB_PATH; add /usr/vacpp/lib and make sure it precedes $EDI_ROOT/lib path (see below example):

>:echo $LIBPATH
/usr/vacpp/lib :$EDI_ROOT/lib
