zwang@turbolinux.com wrote Sorry for that I am newbie to this area. How to fiddle that link options to get it work? Thanks.
edit the Setup script to get the necessary libs for linking an OCI application under your particular flavor of Unix. It varies by platform and by minor Oracle version - see your platform specific Oracle docs for the details. I went to look for the Setup file I used, but I think I must've stomped it somewhere along the line. Once upon a time I attempted to write something that would parse the Makefiles that ship with Oracle to generate a Setup file. This was a completely fruitless task - Oracle seem to go out of their way to make this a total pain in the backside (probably to make more business for their consulting business "yes, we can help you compile an application" - god knows their consultant (in my experience, anyway) aren't much good for anything else...)) oops. </rant> Anthony
