RE: anyone seens this or encountered this after a 9.2 to 10.2 upgrade

It can be a linking problem. You may issue the link all command to get all the binaries relinked.

ok i'm not talking pl/sql here. This is C Code.

What i'm wondering more so if why is it picking up the .so rather than the .a

is there a document out there explaining the change ?.

Fuad,

You find a difference between 10g and 9i libraries, and assume that this is the cause of the compilation problems (pl/sql ?).

Whatever difference you found cannot be the cause, for .a shows that it is static library whereas .so shows that it is linked dynamically. The difference is that oracle has changed the way how libraries are linked.
