Hi all, I've been searching for an elusive answer for a week now ... I thought someone out there may have already invented this particular wheel -- if so please help. To test eloquence on HP-UX as a migration possibility for HP3000 Fortran programs I built a couple of eloquence databases on a HP9000 at HP-UX 11.00, with remarkable ease I must add. Thank you Michael! Next I wrote a simple test Fortran 77 test program on the HP3000 and moved it to the HP-UX box. Now when I compile and link with the following: strauss:/root/demo# g77 -v -o order_app order_app.F -L/opt/eloquence6/lib \ > -limage3k I get unresolved externals (i.e., Unsatisfied symbols) from ld (as follows): Driving: g77 -v -o order_app order_app.F -L/opt/eloquence6/lib -limage3k - lfrtbe gin -lg2c -lm -shared-libgcc stuff snipped (fas) sr/local/lib/gcc-lib/hppa2.0n-hp- hpux11.00/3.2/../../.. /var/tmp//ccjtsUbc.o -li mage3k -lfrtbegin -lg2c -lm -lgcc_s -lgcc -lc -lgcc_s -lgcc /usr/ccs/bin/ld: Unsatisfied symbols: dbupdate_ (first referenced in /var/tmp//ccjtsUbc.o) (code) dbdelete_ (first referenced in /var/tmp//ccjtsUbc.o) (code) dbclose_ (first referenced in /var/tmp//ccjtsUbc.o) (code) dbfind_ (first referenced in /var/tmp//ccjtsUbc.o) (code) dbget_ (first referenced in /var/tmp//ccjtsUbc.o) (code) dblock_ (first referenced in /var/tmp//ccjtsUbc.o) (code) dbexplain_ (first referenced in /var/tmp//ccjtsUbc.o) (code) dbopen_ (first referenced in /var/tmp//ccjtsUbc.o) (code) dbunlock_ (first referenced in /var/tmp//ccjtsUbc.o) (code) dbinfo_ (first referenced in /var/tmp//ccjtsUbc.o) (code) dbput_ (first referenced in /var/tmp//ccjtsUbc.o) (code) collect2: ld returned 1 exit status strauss:/root/demo# I am new to programming in this very mixed environment and I don't know what I need to add to the Fortran program to make the linkage to the eloquence libimage3k shared library happen. Can anyone help ... please. Take care, frank ====================================================== Frank Alden Smith HP MPE/iX Certified Professional Alden Research, Inc.
