Set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH to have the lib directory of the Informatica libraries first in the directory list. If this still doesn't work, then

does

isainfo -kv

show that both kernels are running the same kernel (i.e. both 32 bit or 64 bit)? Also, if you use the file command to look at the Informatica shared libraries

i.e. file shared_lib.so.1

Does the output of the file command on the shared libraries show the same output?

If the hardware architecture is the same, the OS is the same, the install media/image is the same and is for Solaris 8, and both kernels are running in the same mode (i.e. 32 bit or 64 bit), then I'm at a loss as to the reason.

The only way we could possibly figure this out is to get the output of

truss -f <executable_name> > /truss.out 2>&1

where <executable_name> is pmconfig or whatever executable you run to get the error. If you can post this we can see where it's failing.

Sorry I haven't been a lot of help, but this error usually signifies an executable image that was compiled/linked for a different OS/arch.

LEARN ABOUT NETBSD

netbsd32

COMPAT_NETBSD32(8)					    BSD System Manager's Manual 					COMPAT_NETBSD32(8)

NAME

     compat_netbsd32 -- setup procedure for 32-bit compatibility on 64-bit platforms

DESCRIPTION

     The compat_netbsd32 module allows NetBSD/sparc64 to run NetBSD/sparc executables, and NetBSD/amd64 to run NetBSD/i386 executables.

     To use compat_netbsd32, one must either have COMPAT_NETBSD32 and EXEC_ELF32 in the kernel, or load the compat_netbsd32 and exec_netbsd32 ker-
     nel modules.

     Static executables typically need no additional setup.  Dynamic binaries require the dynamic linker plus shared libraries.  Most of these
     files will need to be placed under /emul/netbsd32.

     The easiest method of installing support for these is via the emulators/netbsd32_compat14, emulators/netbsd32_compat15, and
     emulators/netbsd32_compat16 packages, provided in the NetBSD packages collection.	These install 32-bit a.out and ELF compatibility
     libraries, respectively.  The details of what is actually necessary for correct operation are given below.  This obviously is handled by the
     emulator packages.

     For a.out compatibility, /usr/libexec/ld.so from a 32-bit distribution is required to exist as /emul/netbsd32/usr/libexec/ld.so.  For 32-bit
     ELF compatibility, /usr/libexec/ld.elf_so needs to be in /emul/netbsd32/usr/libexec/ld.elf_so.

     The shared libraries for a.out binaries do not live under the /emul/netbsd32 directory, but under the /emul/aout directory, where the a.out
     dynamic linker will find them.

BUGS

     A list of things which fail to work in compatibility mode should be here.

     IPC is not well supported.

     sysctl(3) is not well supported.
