Problems compiling and running 9i forms on 10g Linux app server

Question

Hi all,
we are about to move our 9i developed forms application from W2k 9ias RL2 to a 10g linux application server. It seems that we are having very much trouble with the fact that file names are case-sensitive under linux. Our forms are designer-generated and afterwards modified using forms developer under win2k. Therefore these forms have designer plls attached (OFG*.pll). In addition, we use a few custom plls and an object library (*.olb). We managed to compile our fmbs to fmx using f90genm.sh on linux, but getting FRM-40735 and ORA-06508 errors at runtime. FORMS90_PATH in default.env is correct.
We took one fmb to narrow things down. Steps we took on development machine:
- Rename all plls to a format of uppercase name and lowercase extension (e.g. OFGBSL.pll)
- Reattach plls to the form
After that
- Move fmb and plls to linux machine
- compile the fmb without errors
At runtime, we get a ORA-06508 in a trigger that calls CGFK$LKUP_QRY.EXTEND_WHERE. This procedure is located in OFGTEL.pll. OFGTEL.pll has OFGMES.pll attached. We tried to compile OFGTEL.pll, but getting errors due to the fact that table CG_REF_CODES is not present in our db (we don't use it).
Other plls like OFGBSL.pll and our custom pll work well (proved by debugging).
Can anybody give us some hints or step-by-step instructions on how to move our application to linux, especially how to make OFGTEL.pll usable?
Thanks in advance

Here is a part of code from OFGTEL.pll
IF (curr_value IS NOT NULL) THEN
SELECT decode(RV_HIGH_VALUE, NULL, RV_LOW_VALUE, curr_value)
, RV_MEANING
INTO new_value
, P_MEANING
FROM CG_REF_CODES
WHERE ( (RV_HIGH_VALUE IS NULL AND
/* this will compare them as chars, as the */
/* abbreviation will most often be a char */
curr_value IN (RV_LOW_VALUE, RV_ABBREVIATION)) OR
(to_number(curr_value) BETWEEN
to_number(RV_LOW_VALUE) AND to_number(RV_HIGH_VALUE))
AND ROWNUM = 1
i think the unix .pll and Win .pll are not the same
