Problem Description -------------------
You are relinking the Oracle software(either manually or as part of an install) on HP/UX 64-bit and receive errors similar to the following:
9.0.1.x: ld:Unsatisfied symbol "gethrtime" in file $ORACLE_HOME/lib//libserver9.a[kcrf.o] 1 errors.
9.2.0.1: cc: warning 487: Possibly incorrect message catalog. ld: Unsatisfied symbol "gethrtime" in file /opt/oracle/product/9.2.0/lib//libserver9.a[kcrr.o] 1 errors.
Solution Description --------------------
HP/UX patches PHCO_23770, PHCO_23092 must be applied. For details on these patches, please contact HP for assistance.
Explanation ----------- The gethrtime(void) function is a new funtion in libc and is not present in older versions of libraries, so this issue did not appear in prior versions. The referenced HP patches resolve the linking errors.

I got this same error and it was a C compiler problem....go get the GCC for the itanium machine, and this should fix this problem. I think it's version 3.2ipf or something like that
