I'm trying to write some simple C subroutines that access a database supported 
by Oracle's RDBMS for the Macintosh, version 1.0, but can't get past the linking
step : 
  i precompile the source code (with Oracle's Pro*C) and compile (using MPW
  version 3.0's C compiler) with no problem, but when i try to link (using MPW's
  linker) my .o file with the necessary Oracle-supplied-executables, i get
  'undefined entry' errors from 3 of the Oracle-supplied-executables. 

The link command i used is abridged below:
  "link -w -c 'MPS ' -t MPST -sym on -mf ####### extract.c.o &&&&&&& -o extract"
where the # signs represent alias definitions for 4 of the Oracle executable 
files that the Oracle reference manual says you are to include, and the & signs
represent the libraries and Oracle executables that were linked with my program,
'extract.c.o'.

The errors i got from the above link command were:
  HLock,Hunlock : undefined entries found in acmldr.c.o
  OpenResFile,HNoPurge : undefined entries found in acmlms.c.o 
  OpenRFPerm    : undefined entries found in ossgso.c.o

Does any of this seem to have an obvious explanation?  Has anyone out there had
a similar experience with the software i'm using?

Thanks,
