Environment

Novell eDirectory 8.8 for Linux

Situation

When running certain eDirectory utilities the following error is thrown after applying FTF 1 to eDirectory 8.8.5 on a 64-bit platform:


ab@mybox0:~> ndsconfig

ndsconfig: error while loading shared libraries: libxi18n.so: cannot open

shared object file: No such file or directory

Resolution

After the installation of eDirectory 8.8.5 FTF 1 some of the updated libraries are not set to be used in the list of dynamic libraries for the system. The ldconfig command can be used to regenerate the cache of these libraries which will resolve the library error. Run the following command and enter the 'root' password when prompted:

sudo /sbin/ldconfig

If the command above does not work the following can be run as 'root' directly assuming the ldconfig command is in /sbin:

/sbin/ldconfig

This has been fixed in eDir 88SP5 Patch 3
