Re: ORA-06522- bad magic

I have recompiled the source of my C routine on the 64-bit machine..and linked the file to create a shared libray(.so)....but I have not used any special options....I am new to 64-bit machines. Are there any special options I need to specify?

Just to confuse matters I think the Oracle install(8.0.5.1) is 32-bit.
