OCI - Sample program works on Windows but gives error in Solaris ??

Question

Hi,
I am new to OCI. I was trying the following sample program:
#include<iostream>
#include<conio.h>
#include<firstheader.h>
//#include<stdafx.h>
#include<string.h>
using namespace std;
class OCIClass
public:
     OCIClass()
int p_bvi;
char p_sli[20];
int rc;
char errbuf[100];
int errcode;
const char *s;
printf("Hello\n");
string sql;
string sql2="select substr(ename,1,3) from emp where job='ANALYST'";
cout<<sql2;
//char sql[512];
int flag=0;
sql += "SELECT * from emp where job='";
if (flag==0)
sql += "MANAGER";
else
sql += "ANALYST";
sql += "'";
cout<<sql + "\n";
s=sql.c_str();
char* cstr = new char[sql.size()+1];
strcpy (cstr, sql.c_str());
char* cstr2 = new char[sql2.size()+1];
strcpy (cstr2, sql2.c_str());
sql=" ";
/* Initialize evironment */
rc=OCIEnvCreate((OCIEnv **)&p_env,(ub4)OCI_DEFAULT ,(void *)0, (void * (*)(void *, size_t))0,
(void * (*)(void *, void *, size_t))0,(void (*)(void *, void *))0,(size_t)0, (void **)0);
/* Initialize handles */
rc = OCIHandleAlloc( (dvoid *) p_env, (dvoid **) &p_err, OCI_HTYPE_ERROR,
(size_t) 0, (dvoid **) 0);
printf("Error handle allocated\n");
rc = OCIHandleAlloc( (dvoid *) p_env, (dvoid **) &p_svc, OCI_HTYPE_SVCCTX,
(size_t) 0, (dvoid **) 0);
printf("service handle allocated\n");
printf("Value of RC before Logon\n %d", rc);
/* Connect to database server */
rc = OCILogon(p_env, p_err, &p_svc, (OraText *)"scott", 5,(OraText *) "welcome", 7,(OraText *) "", 0);
printf("Value of RC after Logon\n %d", rc);
if (rc != 0) {
OCIErrorGet((dvoid *)p_err, (ub4) 1, (text *) NULL, &errcode, (OraText *)errbuf, (ub4) sizeof(errbuf), OCI_HTYPE_ERROR);
printf("Error - %s\n",errbuf);
     printf("error");
//exit(8);
     getch();
printf("Connect successful\n");
/* Allocate and prepare SQL statement */
rc = OCIHandleAlloc( (dvoid *) p_env, (dvoid **) &p_sql,
OCI_HTYPE_STMT, (size_t) 0, (dvoid **) 0);
rc = OCIStmtPrepare(p_sql, p_err, (OraText*) cstr,
(ub4) 37, (ub4) OCI_NTV_SYNTAX, (ub4) OCI_DEFAULT);
/* Bind the values for the bind variables
p_bvi = 10; /* Use DEPTNO=10
rc = OCIBindByName(p_sql, &p_bnd, p_err, (text *) ":x",
-1, (dvoid *) &p_bvi, sizeof(int), SQLT_INT, (dvoid *) 0,
(ub2 *) 0, (ub2 *) 0, (ub4) 0, (ub4 *) 0, OCI_DEFAULT);*/
/* Define the select list items */
rc = OCIDefineByPos(p_sql, &p_dfn, p_err, 1, (dvoid *) &p_sli,
(sword) 20, SQLT_STR, (dvoid *) 0, (ub2 *)0,
(ub2 *)0, OCI_DEFAULT);
/* Execute the SQL statment */
rc = OCIStmtExecute(p_svc, p_sql, p_err, (ub4) 1, (ub4) 0,
(CONST OCISnapshot *) NULL, (OCISnapshot *) NULL, OCI_DEFAULT);
while (rc != OCI_NO_DATA) {             /* Fetch the remaining data */
printf("%s\n",p_sli);
rc = OCIStmtFetch(p_sql, p_err, 1, 0, 0);
printf("After fetch\n");
rc = OCILogoff(p_svc, p_err); /* Disconnect */
rc = OCIHandleFree((dvoid *) p_sql, OCI_HTYPE_STMT); /* Free handles */
rc = OCIHandleFree((dvoid *) p_svc, OCI_HTYPE_SVCCTX);
rc = OCIHandleFree((dvoid *) p_err, OCI_HTYPE_ERROR);
void main()
OCIClass c1;
getch();
The above program works on my Windows desktop. If I try this in Solaris, OCILogon fails and gives an error. If I check the value of rc, I find that it is -2. I can connect to the database using SQLPlus, but not through the program. Not sure how to debug this...
Any pointers ?
Thanks in advance,
mrk

Did you make the required port entry in the /etc/services file? You will need to add the gateway service port there. Then try to run your program.
