I was about to respond much the same...

I would say this is a bug and should be fixed. If it doesn't we should perhaps write it up somewhere because this problem is not going to go away, so many will get bitten by this. > If I have understood correctly using Openldap will work with Oracle8.1.x > (I don't remember from which version the ldap-capabilities were added) > if the link order is '-llber -lldap -lclntsh'. > > With the current configure-system libs are added to the beginning of LIBS > so it gets defined '-lclntsh -llber -lldap'.

So an ugly fix would be to call the module OCI8. I'm not sure how else to fix it, except perhaps some ugly stuff in the Makefile that inspects the produced LIBS and switch the ordering if necessary? Not sure how. I'm hoping that someone that knows the configure stuff better than me can fix it. > Hmm..this issue has been discussed before but nothing have happened. > Maybe I should insult someone and this will get fixed? =) Or at least > discussed why it could not be fixed? Yes, could someone please comment? Else insults might be necessary (I leave that to you Jani :) Stig
