Greetings. In order to build the odbc library, I had to change the GNUMakefile entry of: SHLIB_LINK = $(filter -lm, $(LIBS)) To SHLIB_LINK = $(filter -lm, $(LIBS)) -lz -lresolv -lgen -lnsl -lsocket -ldl -lm -lxnet -shared Using , GNU Make version 3.78.1, gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release), native solaris 7 ld and ar. The odbc build linking process failed altogether, couldn't resolve any of the networking symbols, so I added them ALL, plus the -shared flag. Aside from that, WOW nice software folks. FYI only cause you probably know about his one. -- Rocke Robertson NCS/GTIS/PWGSC 700 Montreal Rd.
