OpenLDAP Faq-O-Matic: How can OpenLDAP be used with Oracle Pro*C?

	OpenLDAP Faq-O-Matic : OpenLDAP Software FAQ : Integration : *How can OpenLDAP be used with Oracle ProC?**
	Oracle includes its own LDAP-functions in the library libclntsh. These functions conflict with the OpenLDAP-functions, since Oracle's functions have the same names, but a different syntax. When compiling a program that needs access to both Oracle and OpenLDAP, make sure that the OpenLDAP-libraries are linked before the Oracle libraries, by making sure that "-lldap -llber" occurs before "-lclntsh" in your gcc commandline. If you use ProC, you will notice that ProC bombs on several of OpenLDAP's calls, since the syntax of Oracle's functions are different from OpenLDAP's. ProC expects the Oracle calls, and thus some calls to OpenLDAP will result in a syntax error. The easiest way to fix this is to place all your calls to OpenLDAP-functions in a separate header-file. ProC only preprocesses the main program, and not the header files. This has been tested and verified with Oracle 8i, ProC 8.1.5.0.0 and gcc egcs-2.91.66 19990314 on a Linux machine. hein.ragas@capgemini.nl*
