Libraries missing from Linux distribution
Problem:
I cannot launch the X Window System version of Data Protector Express. It gives me the
following message:
error while loading shared libraries +.so.5
Cause:
Either the + library is missing from your version of Linux distribution or the wrong
version of the library is installed.
Solution:
Install the missing library.
1. Identify the required version of the library:
a. Navigate to the Data Protector Express directory in a terminal window. The default directory is
/usr/local/hp/dpx.
