AIX and ORACLE Client Shell

[Bernard Schletz]

Hi,

i switched from AIX 4.1 to 4.3: But when I now try
to link my application the linker didn't accept the
Oracle-Client-Shell libclntsh.a.

I get the error:
'collect2: /usr/lib/libc_r.a: not an import library'

What is collect2 doing?
What does this error mean?
What could I do?
Can anybody help me?

Thanks
Bernard

When upgrading AIX with an Oracle db, you need to re-run rootpre.sh to
re-install the kernel extensions.
Would this be a cause of the problem ?

Hi,

after the AIX-Upgrade the Oracle-Database has been upgraded from 7.3.2
to 7.3.4. The database is running. But the person did this is in holiday.

Do you know if:
Is it neccessary to run rootpre.sh in order to upgrade Oracle?
Is there any possibility to check if this script has been used?

Thanks
Bernard

I think You have hit a problem which is documented in Oracle 8.0.4 and 8.1.5

Actually I doubt that Oracle supports V7 on AIX 4.3.3 but that is an other
story

The problem is that Oracle will only link with Posix draft 7 thread model
AIX 4.3.3 defaults to Posix draft 10 threads
try:
export LINK_CONTROL=L_PTHREADS_D7
This essentially replaces the default libpthreads.a library
with libpthreadscompat.a

It is documented in the Oracle V8 installation manuals.

Hopes this helps
