Did you try ibase60dyn.initializeibase60('whatever.so'); in your dpr ? I noticed you didn't react to that suggestion (and a similar suggestion from Jonas) Since 2.4.2 afaik most db routines have such routines, though I haven't seen them tested much. The main reason is exactly discussions like this popping up every half year about library naming purposes, adding embedded or odd ball versions and so on. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
