Have you googled for the error message? I case you haven't:

from this link:
Quote:
Solution: The issue was resolved by using the slibclean command. According to the manual,

Quote:
The slibclean command unloads all object files with load and use counts of 0. It can also be used to remove object files that are no longer used from both the shared library region and in the shared library and kernel text regions by removing object files that are no longer required.

...or this message from comp.unix.aix:

Quote:
The error is caused by the fact that an instance of /xlt/thefile
is running. You should be able to see it with ps aux. Since the
operating system uses demand paging, not all of the pages of a program
are necessarily mapped into memory when it starts. This means that
the process may request more pages of that program to be mapped into
memory at any time. So the operating system doesn't let you remove
the file.
You may also test the tar file by issuing:

Code:
tar -tvf APP.tar

and see if this works or produces the same error. You also might compare its output to files you have on your system. If you have tarred the files with absolute pathes it will be untarred to absolute pathes too, not the directory which happens to be your $PWD.

TIP: if you want your output formatted pagewise pipe it to either "more" or "pg".

I hope this helps.

htpurge

htdig(1)						      General Commands Manual							  htdig(1)

NAME

       htpurge -  remove unused documents from the database (general maintenance script)

SYNOPSIS

       htpurge [-][-a][-c configfile][-u][-v]

DESCRIPTION

       Htpurge	functions to remove specified URLs from the databases as well as bad URLs, unretrieved URLs, obsolete documents, etc. It is recom-
       mended that htpurge be run after htdig to clean out any documents of this sort.

       OPTIONS

       -      Take URL list from standard input (rather than specified with -u). Format of input file is one URL per line.  -a Use alternate  work
	      files.  Tells htpurge to append .work to database files, causing a second copy of the database to be built. This allows the original
	      files to be used by htsearch during the run.

       -c configfile
	      Use the specified configfile instead of the default.

       -u URL Add this URL to the list of documents to remove. Must be specified multiple times if more than one URL are to be removed. Should nor
	      be used together with -.

       -v     Verbose  mode.  This  increases the verbosity of the program.  Using more than 2 is probably only useful for debugging purposes. The
	      default verbose mode (using only one -v) gives a nice progress report while digging.

FILES

       /etc/htdig/htdig.conf
	      The default configuration file.

SEE ALSO

       Please refer to the HTML pages (in the htdig-doc package) /usr/share/doc/htdig-doc/html/index.html and the manual  pages  htdigconfig(8)  ,
       htdig(1) and htmerge(1) for a detailed description of ht://Dig and its commands.
