It would help if you provided the output from the linker so we can see what's unresolved. I'm a bit weary that this will work anyway. Oracle's OCI libraries were built using the MS Visual C++ environment. As such, it has references to things in the MSVCRT an expects to be run in that environment. I don't recall if gcc's linker can easily link with the MSVCRT environment. Perhaps Christopher can comment on this. > Thanks, > Brunda -- Peter A.
