With static libraries, sometimes you have to rescan the same library twice. Double check what 'esql -libs -static' says (and esql -static -libs). -- Jonathan Leffler #include <disclaimer.h> Email: jleffler@earthlink.net, jleffler@us.ibm.com Guardian of DBD::Informix v2003.04 -- http://dbi.perl.org/
