 Problem Description

---

 You are trying to relink, or start an executable that links in  ORACLE_HOME/lib/libclntsh.so. After issuing the make  command, you get:

   O_H/lib/libclntsh.so: Undefined reference to nnflboot

 If you are trying to run an executable, you get:

   <executable_name>: error in loading shared libraries:    O_H/lib/libclntsh.so.8.0:
   undefined symbol: nnflboot

 Solution Description

---

 Comment out the following lines (157-162)in O_H/bin/gennfgt:

 157 #if [ "$NNFGUSELDAPLIB" = "true" ]

     158 #then
     159 #echo '
     160 # { (char *) "LDAP"  , nnflboot, (char *) "_nnflboot", (char *)

"nnfl"
 },

     161 #'
     162 #fi

 Then run the following:

 cd O_H/lib
 gennfgt > good_nnfgt.c
 gcc -c -o nnfgt.o good_nnfgt.c
 rm good_nnfgt.c
 ar cr libn8.a nnfgt.o
 genclntsh
 relink all

 Explanation

---

 The script O_H/bin/gennfgt creates the C-sources for nnfgt.o,  which contains that undefined symbol (nnfgt.o is in libn8.a). The script checks what libraries are available and also checks for and  finds libldapclnt8.a. Now it adds a call to nnflboot to the  C-file, because it has found LDAP-support - but the libnldap8.a, where this funtion is supposed to be defined, is size 0.
