Just to add to this, the Oracle 8.0.5 client libs are not linked against pthreads and they connect fine to an 8.1.[56] server. eg. /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.5/lib> ldd libclntsh.so libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x2afb6000) libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x2afba000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x2afd6000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x2afe7000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x55555000) /u01/app/oracle/product/8.0.5/lib> ldd libclntsh.so /lib/libNoVersion.so.1 => /lib/libNoVersion.so.1 (0x2ae2b000) libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x2ae31000) libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x2ae47000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x2ae63000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x2ae66000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x55555000) -Rasmus
