List-Archive: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql/966 Message-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII The default on SCO is coff. You need elf files. -belf makes all binaries elf. Only elf binanies can be shared. I will not go into a large disscussion on coff vs. elf. Let me just say you need elf. On some compilers you use the -melf instead. What version of gcc are you using. I recommend the version done by Robert Lipe. The latest egcs is OK too. Good Luck, Boyd Gerber gerberb@stripped
