Then, Oracle produced a new release (version 6--we had been using version 5), and I couldn't get it to compile either. Through appropriate munging of the makefile (by adding explicit ld's) I was able to get my errors down to the following: doload: Undefined symbol: _end But isn't end inserted by the loader itself? After numerous calls to Oracle support and email with people at the ITC, my guess as to the problem was that Oracle v6 had been ``improved'' to be AT&T System V Unix compatible, whereas everything else we were using was BSD compatible. The one suggestion I got was to recompile all of ATK using System V cc to see if that made the libraries compatible. I didn't try this--my project went away for other reasons, and the interface never worked again. I'd be interesting in hearing if anybody has gotten this combination to work. -Steve.
