Upgrade from Oracle 7.3.4 to Oracle 8.1.6: libraries to be linked for Pro*C

[SURESH_5]

Hi,

We are upgrading our database from Oracle 7.3.4 to Oracle 8.1.6 (OS: HPUnix11)
We are trying to recompile, link and run C (Pro*C) applications

Somehow succeeded to compile but when run they give Bus error(coredump)

I think that proper libraries are not linked in the correct order

The libraries linked currently in the makefile are

In Oracle 8.1.6 linked libraries
PROLDLIBS= -L$(ORACLE_HOME)/lib `[ -f $(ORACLE_HOME)/lib/libxa.a ] && echo -lxa` -lsql8 -lclntsh -lclntsh $(ORACLE_HOME)/lib/libclient8.a $(ORACLE_HOME)/lib/libcommon8.a -lgeneric8 -lclntsh -lclntsh $(ORACLE_HOME)/lib/libclient8.a $(ORACLE_HOME)/lib/libcommon8.a -lgeneric8 -lnl8 -lcore8 `cat $(ORACLE_HOME)/lib/sysliblist` -lm -lcma

In previous makefile(Oracle 7.3.4) linked libraries
PROLDLIBS= -L$(ORACLE_HOME)/lib `[ -f $(ORACLE_HOME)/lib/libxa.a ] && echo -lxa` -lsql -lsqlnet -lncr -lsqlnet $(ORACLE_HOME)/lib/libclient.a $(ORACLE_HOME)/lib/libcommon.a -lgeneric -lsqlnet -lncr -lsqlnet $(ORACLE_HOME)/lib/libclient.a $(ORACLE_HOME)/lib/libcommon.a -lgeneric -lepc -lnlsrtl3 -lc3v6 -lcore3 -lnlsrtl3 -lcore3 -lnlsrtl3 `cat $(ORACLE_HOME)/rdbms/lib/sysliblist` -lm

Any idea what all libraries have to be linked and their order on Oracle 8.1.6

Thank You

Before I would even look at linking problems, I would use the debugger to get a stack trace to determine the underlying problem. It could be bad code that was working by accident on the older platform. I've actually seen several examples of that.

Hi

Thanks for ur info.

I tried to debug the program. The program does not even print the first statement. Below is the debug info.

Any idea what the problem might be.

Thank you
