The HP-UX 11i host must have the correct packages and dependencies installed to run Directory
Server. The patch list changes daily, so check the HP site regularly to ensure you have the latest
releases:

http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/eng/support.htm
The first package to install is the
PHSS_30966: ld(1) and linker tools
cumulative patch.
The other required patches are listed in
Table 2.5, “HP-UX 11i Patches”
