Problem with shared libraries

[Ajay Nair]

Hi,

I'm using 64-bit Informix shared libraries and another 3rd party library that is 32-bit.

Is there any way by which I can make my object file link to both these libraries.

Currently it gives me the error "Mismatched ABI. 64-bit PA shared library found in 32-bit link." and when I compile in 32-bit mode using DAportable and it gives me "Can't find library or mismatched ABI for -lASH" error when I compile in 64-bit mode using DA2.0W.

Please advice me if there is a way out.

Thanks,
Ajay

Sorry to say, no way out.

Either Informix provides you with 32 bit libraries
or the third party makes a porting to 64 bits (preferred).

I had the same problem with
MQSeries (Now an IBM product) and Adabas (A eh uh database?) from Software AG.
Adabas is now 64 bits and 32 bit is no longer supported.
IBM has no plans to migrate MQSeries to 64 bits libraries so we had to work around with IPC, etc. Quite cumbersome.

I'm trying to have HP sales people chasing MQSeries people, but to no avail.
