while trying compile c program using make file, facing following linking error described below.

i know kind of issues discussed in many other posts, tried solutions suggested in them did not work.

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lclntsh

libclntsh.so , libclntsh.so.10.1 present in oracle path /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/lib , being given -l option in make file. still facing issue:-

please let me know if other info needed. thank you

you passing -aarchive linker. hp/ux compatibility option synonymous -bstatic, directs linker not link dynamic libraries. hence libclntsh.so ignored. see the documentation

if don't know why option there may remove , try again. if know necessary have find static libraries, including libclntsh.a link against.
