I have an Oracle 10g (release 1) database running on an IBM p520 running AIX 5.3, with the appropriate MicroFocus COBOL compiler installed.

I am trying to compile the first of the sample programs in the .../precomp/demo/procob2 directory.

The command I use (and the output I get) is as follows :-

# make -f demo_procob.mk sample1

        /bin/make -f
/apps/oracle/10g/precomp/demo/procob2/demo_procob.mk build COBS=sample1.cob EXE=sample1

        cob -C IBMCOMP -C NESTCALL -x -t -o sample1 sample1.cob
-L/apps/oracle/10g/lib/ /apps/oracle/10g/precomp/lib/cobsqlintf.o
-lclntsh -lld -lm `cat /apps/oracle/10g/lib/sysliblist` -lm -lc_r
-lpthreads

Could not load program /usr/lpp/cobol/bin/rts32_t:

        Dependent module libcobrts_t.2.so could not be loaded. Could not load module libcobrts_t.2.so.
System error: No such file or directory
cob32: error(s) in compilation: sample1.cob make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 255.

Stop.
make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 2.

When I check for the files mentioned (with the ls command) :-

# ls -l /usr/lpp/cobol/lib/libcobrts_t.2.so
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root system 1141066 Mar 20 2003
/usr/lpp/cobol/lib/libcobrts_t.2.so

# ls -l /usr/lpp/cobol/bin/rts32_t
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root system 3870 Mar 20 2003
/usr/lpp/cobol/bin/rts32_t

The output of an "env" command is as follows :-

I suspect that the problem is probably environmental, as I am able to build the MicroFocus demo programs with no problems. However, The LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable seems to be correct, and I'd thought this was where it should be looking for the "so" file, no?

Thanks in advance for any insights anybody might be able to offer. I'm a newbie in the Pro-COBOL world :)
