Issue/Introduction

When executing httpd -v , it returns the following error:

root@mymachine bin]# ./httpd -v

   ./httpd: error while loading shared libraries: libpcre.so.1: cannot
   open shared object file: No such file or directory

 

Using ldd to check on the httpd binary also reports dependencies not found:

[root@mymachine bin]# ldd ./httpd
        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0x00d12000)
        libpcre.so.1 => not found
        libaprutil-1.so.0 => not found
        libexpat.so.0 => /usr/lib/libexpat.so.0 (0x00e7d000)
        libapr-1.so.0 => not found
        libuuid.so.1 => /lib/libuuid.so.1 (0x00884000)
        librt.so.1 => /lib/librt.so.1 (0x00745000)
        libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/libcrypt.so.1 (0x0084e000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x006e3000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x0078e000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x0095c000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x56605000)
        libfreebl3.so => /lib/libfreebl3.so (0x00db8000)

 

Environment

 

CA Access Gateway (SPS) 12.8SP0 on RedHat 7

 

Resolution

 

Using httpd -V to get the version of embedded Apache is correct.

But first, the proper environment variables need to be sourced:

  $ source ca_sps_env.sh

Then the -V will give you the full details and much more !

(This is the output from CA Access Gateway (SPS) 12.8SP0)
