Compile problem

I am trying to compile an executable program through i4gl (i4gl/module/compile/runable) & I get the following error:- -4604: Error(s) found in 4GL module. If I edit the file it has the following in:- | The following errors were discovered during compilation. | |Undefined first referenced | symbol in file |getspnam /informix/lib/tools/libos.a(ospasswd.o) |john.4ge: fatal error: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to john.4ge | Is it something as simple as an environment variable? Thanks in advance, John.

I have seen similar things on Unixware 7.x. (what OS do you use?) In the case of UW7 if I remember correctly, getspnam is a function for shadow passwords and is defined in libgen (add -L/usr/ccs/lib -lgen or something like that). See also man getspnam. One of the thing that worried me was that there was both a libgen.a of informix and a libgen.a of Unixware ... (so you have to be careful with -L flags).

Answering my own question here, sort of, I added function getspnam() end function to the end of the 4gl & it resolved the problem, but obviously I am missing a library or something, somewhere . . .any ideas? Thanks, John.
