Samuel, did you run into this error during installation? It looks very similar to the error
I posted yesterday regarding configuring Pro*C. /usr/bin/ld:cannot open -l... - ld is the OS linker - if you received the error during
installation that means that I should concentrate my efforts on debugging the installation, not
Pro*C's configuration, as I thought before.

By the way, to resolve you problems I recommend the document Oracle 8i Friendly Install - it's by Oracle (sorry I don't have the exact location, but look in technet)
- this document walks you through the installation step by step and warns you in
advance about the errors you are about to run into. It's a lot easier to face things like
a missing installation file on the CD warning when the bug is acknowledged by Oracle.
I think Oracle realized how buggy this 8.1.5 distribution is and released the document to
help people deal with the bugs.
Also, read the Oracle8i Howto - you'll be glad you did.
