libCstd.so.1: open failed

Morning all,

I have a problem with a Sun workstation which is running Solaris 8.
When I attempt to open an application, the executable fails with this message :
"fatal: libcstd.so.1: open failed: No such file or directory"

It was suggested to me that I need to add these patches to fix the problem :
108434-06 (latest version is 22)
109147-15 (latest version is 44)

When I patchadd 108434-22, I get this message :
"ERROR: This patch requires patch 109147-07 which has not been applied to the system. Patchadd is terminating"

When I patchadd 109147-44, I get this mesage :
"One or more patch packages included in 109147-44 are not installed on this system. Patchadd is terminating"

Has anybody else seen this before and can offer some advice on a way forward ?

Thanks,
Andy

The easiest way to handle patch dependancies is to bite the bullet and install the entire recommended cluster.

You don't need patches. You need to either a) install the C libraries package -sunfreeware.com has a package that you can install with pkgadd; or b) the library may be installed, but not in your path.

Thanks for the suggestions cmr164 and System Shock.

This is what I would do. Afterwards don't forget to update using crle -u -l /opt/sfw/lib.

after that you should be able to run whatever it is you need to run.
