Linker errors when linking OCCI 10.1.0 statically on RH AS 3.0 platform

Question

Hello All,
I was trying to build an OCCI program on a Red Hat AS 3.0 Update 4 Platform, statically linking to OCCI libraries of Oracle 10.1.0 version. The g++ compiler version is 3.2.3.
The Makefile and the errors that got generated is mentioned below. However, I could able to build the program when linking through shared library version of OCCI. My requirement is to build the program statically.
I had been stuck up with this for almost a week and tried checking the previous postings in the forums/newsgroups, but not of much help. I added the following libraries :
-lnbeq10 -lnhost10 -lnus10 -lnldap10 -lldapclnt10\
-lnsslb10 -lntcp10 -lntcps10 -lnsslb10 -lntcp10 -lntns10
to the Makefile, based on somebody's posting in OCI/OCCI forum. If I didn't provide
-lpthread I get linker errors in pthread_xxx functions.
Any help/pointers on this would be really appreciated.

Hi ,
Oh! Anyway, thanks for the information. However, the glibc version I use is glibc-2.3.2-95.30.
There is a bit of story behind the reason we tried to use static linking. Actually, the application around which we use to develop solutions supports only Oracle 9i. We were developing some components using the C++ SDK provided by application vendor and that components need some information from DB for processing. So, we needed to write a DB class to do that. Since, we found Oracle supports C++ DB interface(OCCI), we thought to use that.
We had to use RH AS 3.0 platform and the gcc compiler 3.2.x+ for compiling our component code. But Oracle 9i OCCI code doesn't get compiled with gcc/g++ 3.2.x+ compilers. So, we planned to use Oracle 10g OCCI libraries for building the DB class and link it to the custom component we had developed.
In the run-time environment, we had to install both Oracle 9i clients and Oracle 10g clients since the app requires Oracle 9i and the custom component requires Oracle 10g. We did some kind of tweaking (by providing symbolic links to Oracle 10g OCCI libraries from Oracle 9i client directory) so that both the app and the component gets started.
I know this is not a good idea. But we didn't want to spend much time on this at that time since we were doing a proof-of-concept. Later, we thought what could be done. We thought ,first we can try lthe custom component linked to static library version of OCCI. That's the reason we tried of static linking.
The other option is to use OCI interface. But this is a bit of work since we need to write lot of wrapper methods to handle intricacies with OCI and OCI code is cumbersome compared to OCCI.
Hope now you could have got the problem, I am talking about. Any other better ways?
Thanks
