Subject:   Symantec Netbackup under 7.1 - Undefined symbol
Message-ID:  <20090403122829.GA2201@aurora.oekb.co.at>

Hi,

This question is not purely about FreeBSD itself, but about getting
Symantec Netbackup (formerly Veritas) running under FreeBSD.

First of all FreeBSD is supported directly; there's a native
commandline client for FreeBSD that supports 7.0.

I'm using FreeBSD 7.1 (fresh kernel/system as per today), AMD64
architecture with Symanted NetBackup 6.5.3.1.

Installation runs OK, but when I try to run any of the Symantec
programs I get the following error:

# ./bpclimagelist 
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: ./bpclimagelist: Undefined symbol "__h_error"
# file bpclimagelist 
bpclimagelist: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (FreeBSD), for FreeBSD 5.3, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), FreeBSD-style, not stripped
#


Here are my questions:

o) Anybody out there in the FreeBSD community who is using the
NetBackup client successfully under FreeBSD?

o) What does the above error message mean? Is it that the executable
(bpclimagelist in this case) is referencing a symbol that isn't
contained in ld-elf.so.1?

o) Any ideas on how to track this down further?

Thanks much in advance for your help,
-ewald
