AIX

Hi,

The symbolic link from /usr/lib/libc.a to /usr/ccs/lib/libc.a was deleted by accident. So we are trying to restore it, but we have some problems.

After booting from CD, and access the rootvg volume group (without mounting the system), we tried to execute the next commands:

Code:

mount /dev/hd4 /mnt
mount /dev/hd2 /mnt/usr
cd /mnt
ln -s /usr/ccs/lib/libc.a /mnt/usr/lib/libc.a
cd /mnt/usr/sbin
./sync;./sync;./sync
cd / 
umount /dev/hd2
umount /dev/hd4
exit

But the we can't execute the step of creating the symbolic link because seems that the directory /usr/css/lib doesnt exists.
We have tried other options, like create a link to the file /mnt/usr/ccs/lib/libc.a or copy the file /mnt/usr/ccs/lib/libc.a to /mnt/usr/lib, but after enter all the commands and typing exit, the shell cant load the library and start to show errors.

Any idea of what we can do?
We are booting using the AIX 7 Beta DVD because we cant find right now the AIX 5.3 CD's.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,




Bye
