I am running HP-UX 9.04 on a HP9000/800. This is a new system and HP-UX was preloaded by HP.

During my installation of Oracle 17.0.16.4 CDE (Cooperative Development Environment) I am asked for the location of libXt.a and libX11.a. On my system all I have is /usr/lib/X11R5/libXt.sl and /usr/lib/X11R5/libX11.sl.

A call to Oracle reported that this is a _known_ bug, no.221815, and I have to get these files from HP. I was told that HP used to supply these '.a' files but no longer do.

Question(s):

What is the difference in .a and .sl files? How do I go about getting them?
Will it cost me?
Did I get the straight facts from Oracle?

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
