Abstract:  Older libc.1 being loaded into the WebSphere JDK process along with libc.2

Description/symptom of problem:  The library linkage of some of the shared libraries inside WebSphere Application Server on the HP-UX platform was pulling in the older libc.1 (backwards compatibility library for HP-UX 10.20) inadvertently.  This can cause problems in some situations, depending on how symbols inside the process get resolved (to either the libc.2 correct version or the libc.1 version).  While customers may not encounter any problems, it is advised to install this patch to eliminate the unwanted import of libc.1

This patches the WebSphere webserver plugins, as well as libUnixRegistry.sl, libWs50ProcessManagement.sl, and libpmiJvmpiProfiler.sl

1) Create temporary "fix" directory to store the jar file:

          Windows: c:\temp\WebSphere\fix

2) Unzip the bundle of four ifix jars for your particular version of WebSphere AppServer (PQ82202_50X.zip for 5.0.X or PQ82202_51X.zip for 5.1.X)

          removed, fix3 must be removed first, fix2 removed, and fix3 re-applied.
