Summary :
When executing the PREPARE command from the master upgrade CD/DVD, users may encounter errors due to missing ICU libraries or incompatible library versions. These errors include inability to open ICU libraries noted by environment variable "LD_LIBRARY_PATH" and load program issues from SAPup because specific symbols like "strcmp" and "u16_set_trace" cannot be resolved. The root causes are traced back to discrepancies between required Unicode-specific libraries and those present in the system, particularly observable when SAPup or kernel versions do not match. Solutions encompass updating the libsapu16.so library, ensuring correct ICU library versions per system specifications, and verifying the presence of necessary OS patches.
