Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Unable to use the Sudo command. "0509-130 Symbol resolution failed for sudo because:" Post 302381986 by TonyFullerMalv on Monday 21st of December 2009 04:09:55 PM

I am more used to Solaris where I would use the ldd command to check that all the libraries are present and correct, the FAQ at:
2.27: Where can I find ldd for AIX?
says where ldd for AIX is available.

To use ldd(1) you would cd to where sudo lives and then run:
Code:
$ ldd ./sudo

This checks all the libraries are present, then run:
Code:
$ ldd -r ./sudo

This will check all the symbols are present, this will show you which libraries you require more up to date versions of.

To make a more up to date library files available to only sudo you can cheat and write a wrapper script that puts the directory where you have put the more up to date libraries first (not one of the normal library directories) in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and then call sudo $@. This is a kludge in some folks opinions but it works!
