ColdFusion MX 6.1: Verity Spider fails with No such file or directory error

Issue

When attempting to run the Verity Spider (vpsider) on Solaris or HP-UX platforms, it may fail with the following error:

 ld.so.1: ./vspider: fatal: libvdk200.so: open failed: No such file or directory Killed

This occurs because the Verity Spider program is unable to locate the library files needed to run.

Solution

To use the vspider utility, the appropriate Verity library paths must be added to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable on Solaris or the SHLIB_PATH environment variable on HP-UX.

Solaris:

Check whether the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable has been set by using the following command:
```
 # set | grep LD_LIBRARY_PATH 
```
If the output contains path information,append the Verity library path information to the existing LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable by using the following command:
```
 # export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/coldfusionmx/lib:/opt/coldfusionmx/lib/_solaris/bin 
```
If the output does not contain path information,add the Verity library path information to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable by using the following command:
```
 # export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/coldfusionmx/lib:/opt/coldfusionmx/lib/_solaris/bin 
```

HP-UX:

Check whether the SHLIB_PATH environment variable has been set by using the following command:
```
 # set | grep SHLIB_PATH 
```
If the output contains path information,append the Verity library path information to the existing SHLIB_PATH environment variable by using the following commands:
```
 # SHLIB_PATH=$SHLIB_PATH:/opt/coldfusionmx/lib:/opt/coldfusionmx/lib/_solaris/bin # export SHLIB_PATH 
```
If the output does not contain path information,add the Verity library path information to the SHLIB_PATH environment variable by using the following commands:
```
 # SHLIB_PATH=/opt/coldfusionmx/lib:/opt/coldfusionmx/lib/_solaris/bin # export SHLIB_PATH 
```
