ITEM: BT7320L

INSTALL/Trying to do an install and is having problems

This is an informational item ONLY 
This item decribes a conflict in paths to the shared library hookable symbols
on AIX 4.2 between Netscape Enterprise Server and the actual library location.

As shown below, with APAR IX59785 installed the path to the library is not
what Netscape expects, and a working workaround for the problem is provided, 
that leaves the APAR in it's original location intact, while allowing
Netscape Enterprise's install program to function normally:

  Env:          AIX 4.2.0
                model 7248
   Desc:        customer upgraded to 420 and also installed the 
                netscape enterprise server 2.0 and trying to run
                ns-setup gets error

"0509-037 System error -- error data is: ns-setup
    0509-022 Cannot load library libsvld.a  [shr.0]
    0509-026 System error:  a file or directory in the path name does
      not exist."

Found several items pointing to the installation of IX59785
Had him perform the check: "instfix -ik IX59785"
"all filesets are installed"

Reference other items where Netscape is apparently 
hard-coded to look for this library in the directory /usr/lib

Had the customer cd to /usr/lib and create a soft link for the
library to it's real location.
ie:

cd /usr/lib
ln -s /usr/lpp/slhs/lib/libsvld.a libsvld.a

Now retrying the install of Netscape Enterprise Server.
This worked. (no more error.)
