How to use viewldbg to analyze core?

I have a core file generated by ns-slapd which I want to analyse and
when I give arguments like below

../viewldbg "HOME_DIR"/bin/slapd/server/ns-slapd /tmp/corefile
/tmp/output it generates following output with error

Opening /"HOME_DIR"/bin/slapd/server/ns-slapd ./tmp/corefile
architecture is SPARC
Core analysis 18-JUL-2000. Copyright (c) 2000 Sun Microsystems, Inc.
Currently Mon Sep 8 2003
Opening /"HOME_DIR"/bin/slapd/server/ns-slapd ./tmp/corefile

architecture is SPARC
reading header: Request error: class file/memory mismatch

what does it means?? How to analyze core files?

Please help
Thanks

It means "forward the core file to your Tech support specialist and 
they'll let you know after engineering figures it out"

start with

gdb /path/to/ns-slapd /path/to/core/file
or
adb /path/to/ns-slapd /path/to/core/file
or
mdb /path/to/ns-slapd /path/to/core/file
