Thanks to Lutz for the advice on this.
Let me try and clarify the situation. My problem only occurs when I try to start
apache at boot time. Once the machine is booted and running in full multi-user
mode both egd and apache start fine (as long as I start them in that order).
Currently my problem seems to be down to egd. I've written a script to run at
boot time - it's currently in /etc/rc3.d (running Solaris 2.6 on a Sparc
Ultra5). The boot script produces the following error message:
ld.so.1: /usr/local/bin/perl: fatal: libgdbm.so.2: open failed: No such file or
directory
I just don't understand this. The only way the library couldn't be there is if
/usr/local wasn't mounted. Since both egd.pl and perl itself (V5.6) are in
/usr/local/bin that can't be. Is there some environment variable that perl
expects for this library? And if so, why does it run once the machine is booted?
Any ideas welcomed - I've exhausted all mine.
