RE: Question/problem using SYBASE::DBD

I've slimmed down my LD_LIB_PATH and confirmed (via truss) that the
libcomn_r lib is loading from $SYBASE/$SYBASE_OCS/lib but for some
reason no luck.
Nm of the offending .so (libskrb.so.12.5.1.0) yields 
[93]    |         0|       0|FUNC |GLOB |0    |UNDEF  |com_unsignstrncmp
While nm of the libcomn_r.so yields
[1286]  |    191452|      92|FUNC |GLOB |0    |8      |com_unsignstrncmp
Note: both are in the same lib directory

I noticed that when I compiled a test ctlib program (dynamically linked)
with kerberos support using Forte,  I didn't have any issues using
kerberos...
Unfortuately looks like I have to use gcc (using 3.2.2 at the moment) to
compile the DBD mod (Sybase.so)...So is gcc the cause of this issue? I'm
getting a sinking feeling that there is some silliness going on with the
symbol tables.
I don't understand why it can't find the symbol...since truss shows
libcomn_r.so opening before libskrb.so.12.5.1.0. Also noticed the same
problem with the SybPerl mod. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Rgds,
Eric

Double check the LD_LIBRARY_PATH values to make sure that the correct
version of the libraries are loaded at run-time.

ctlib is statically linked (well, for most things).

The comn_xxx symbols should normally be found in the libcomn.so library.
If you happen to pick up the wrong one at run time you'll get errors.
