Cause: These and similar messages during linking are caused by failure of
on-site linking of a product executable. Often, these messages are
preceded by output of various link utilities, for example:
ld: SS.o: No such file or directory
ld: : output write error: Bad file number
nm: SpectroSERVER: cannot open
The exact format and nature of these errors may vary somewhat
between platforms. There are several causes of link errors, including:
• Failure to install all MMs needed to properly link a product
executable. Currently, install does not manage link dependencies
between MMs, and may not warn you if you attempt to install an
MM without installing a second MM on which it depends for proper
linking of a product executable. In such cases, you will observe link
errors, typically accompanied by a list of undefined symbols.
• Failure of link utilities. This most often happens because of lack of
space in the installation area, but can occur for other reasons.
• Missing MMs or files on the medium. If you are installing a patch. it
may not contain enough SPECTRUM MMs to successfully link
product executables. Patches are intended for installation into
previously existing SPECTRUM install areas.
Solution: •Install all MMs required for proper linking of product
executables.
• Do not install on a heavily-loaded or space-bound system (the
Install GUI will warn you if it feels there is not enough space to
complete installation). Do not tamper with the installation area
during installation.
• If the above measures do not work, contact your Aprisma support
or sales representative.
