ld: Mismatched ABI (not an ELF file) when compiling Pro C Program

[Curtis Deese]

I get the following error on an Itanium 64-bit system when compiling in pro c:

ld: Mismatched ABI (not an ELF file) for /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/precomp/public

Why am I getting this error for this directory and how do I resolve it?

Hi Curtis:

This is a linker error. You can't mix 32-bit and 64-bit objects nor can you link PA-Risc objects with Itanium ones.

How do I ensure that the objects in /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/precomp/public are 64 bit Itanium?

You can use file(1) on each one to check the architecture. Then remove all of the ones that aren't valid for your link.

Check to see if there is a 64 bit version of the library routines that you are trying to link in and install them if they exist.

Try and link the code/changes on a PA server and move the program over (if you have a PA server that you can use).

This is one of the frustrating parts of migrating from PA to IA.

Good Luck!

Thanks for the responses. I solved the problem by removing $PRECOMPPUBLIC and $CFLAGS from the line in the Makefile that builds the executable. There are still some warnings in the compile but at least the executable is built now.
