On HPUX U won't be by default able to view SHLIB_PATH var. ByDefault `ld` which uses 'usr/lib/dld.sl' lib file searches thru /lib:/usr/lib:/usr/share/lib dirs. That means /lib:/usr/lib:/usr/share/lib is ur SHLIB_PATH variable. Now that `ld` (library loader) is searching for 'libgcc_s.sl' library file which probably is not in the mentioned path.
Now tell me what executebles or shell scripts are u trying to execute which are throwing this error. If it's some application then u have to find the location of library's in that application dir. For e.g. INSTALLDIR/lib.
Post ur reply.
