   I am having a problem trying to build a shared library for my    application to use. I am trying to build a shared library 'libdcs.sl'    which is a C++ interface to Oracle functions. One of the    Oracle functions that 'libdcs' references is 'orlon'. Here is how    I link the application:

...

   When I run the application, I get:

	   Before Login () November 30, 1994 9:49:06 am
	   /lib/dld.sl: Unresolved symbol: orlon (code)  from /usr/devel/att01/work/closed/magic/dcs/libdcs.sl

We made the same obeservation. We tracked it down with HP support and learned that it is not possible to use shared libs that have references to static libs. That makes shared libs unusable with Oracle...

After fighting half a year with HP's C++ compiler we decided to change the platform and are now working on SUN. It just works. We never could say this from HP.
