Hi everybody,

I am not an advanced user and I am having problems linking some of my C++ programs with Oracle V8.0.5 under SuSE Linux 6.2. I use g++ (egcs 2.91.66). The linker does not find the shared library libclntsh.so:

Linker command:

g++ -Wl,shared -L/usr/oracle/V8.0.5/lib -lclntsh ...

The error-message says "clntsh: no such file or directory ..." The environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set to /usr/oracle/V8.0.5/lib/ which should be correct. When I look into this directory I can find the following (besides all other libs):

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Feb 7 20:00 libclntsh.so -> libclntsh.so.1.0*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 oracle dba 4381924 Feb 7 19:48 libclntsh.so.1.0*

The linker seems to find all other libs. Only the shared one (which has a softlink)
showas these problems. When I change the linker command to the following:

-Wl,-shared -L/usr/oracle/V8.0.5/lib /usr/oracle/V8.0.5/lib/libclntsh.so

then it works.

What can the problem be? I have this kind of problem experienced with many different libs and also while I was trying to include some header-files. I am a kind of deserted here ...

I'll appreciate any help ... Thanks!

Timo.
