Compilation problem

I think this may be more of a Unix problem than an Informix problem, but hopefully somebody will of had the same problem & can help me out. When I run :- "c4gl -o round_cent.4ge stub.o round_cent.o" I get the following error:- Undefined first referenced symbol in file getspnam /usr/informix/lib/tools/libos.a(ospasswd.o) round_cent.4ge: fatal error: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to round_cent.4ge I have copied these files onto a different SCO 5.05 box, running the same versions of Informix/SCO, & it runs fine there. Any ideas would be great, Thanks in advance, John.

Your other box must have the missing library -- or a different version of the same library. Basically, on the other machine, the system libraries provide the getspnam() (get shadow password file entry based on user name) function, and on your local machine, they do not. Something was installed differently on the two; I suggest installing the extra package on the machine with the problems. You could try using nm on the various system libraries to find out which one provides getspnam(). Then arrange to install that library on the other machine. But be careful; other libraries may also be affected. -- Yours, Jonathan Leffler (Jonathan.Leffler@Informix.com) #include <disclaimer.h> Guardian of DBD::Informix v1.00.PC1 -- http://www.perl.com/CPAN "I don't suffer from insanity; I enjoy every minute of it!"
