If it was like my install the configure, make and make install happened with
no errors. But there are no shared the .a and .la files from what we can
tell here are not shared libs. On AIX there were some other arguments that
needed to be passed to the linker. We hacked out the libtool script, and
changed the line for  "archive_expsym_cmds" to:
archive_expsym_cmds="\$CC -Xlinker -bM:SRE -shared -o
\$output_objdir/\$soname \$libobjs \$deplibs \$compiler_flags
\${wl}-bE:\$expo
rt_symbols \${wl}-bnoentry\${allow_undefined_flag}~\$AR \$AR_FLAGS
\$output_objdir/\$libname\$release.a \$output_objdir/\$soname"

>From everything that we have seen from AIX man for ld that is what you need
to have to create shared libs.

Before we did that, we did  see anything from nm that *.so.o files were
shared libs.

After adding that the it *looks* like a shared file. 

I don't know much about PHP so I am speculating here but chances are you
also don't have those libs and PHP is calling to them. With perl I get a
problem with loading the Sybase modules  because it fails to load libct.so
(? one of the freetds shared libs. ).

There we no errors with the compile so when I first did it I thought there
was nothing wrong, until dynaloader.pm failed to load Sybase.so because
those so files were not there. 

Could you reply with an ls -l of your $FREETDS/lib ? I am expecting it to be
just .a and .la files. 4.3.3 should be able to create and use the so files
versions =< 4.2 create .a or .la for shared.

Looks like we are going on separate tracks.

Are you sure that your .a files contain the shared libs ?

I hope you don't mine but I am posting this back to the mailing list,
hopefully others can shed some light.

André
    I saw your posting on freetds's mailing list and I think I also
experienced your problem on Linux with the current build. If you run a
tcpdump you should see where the system is querying the dns name for the
interface handle. I did not fix it on Linux what I did it rolled back to .53
and it worked fine, but perhaps the current snapshot will fix this.

    I do have a question about installing freetds on AIX did you
actually get the shared libraries to build? If so what version of AIX are
you on and how?
    I cannot seem to get AIX to build the shared libs. Any info on what
you did would be helpfull

XXXXXXXXXXX

I compiled freetds 0.60 (current snapshot) with --enable-shared. But, 
the extensions were .la and .a and not .so ???? I had  problem with 0.60 
on dblib, but  the current snapshot  repaired it.
    I am use AIX 4.3.3, but compiled freetds with gcc.
    Actually, I am having problem with PHP4.0.4pl1 and Freetds. I  am 
not get success on use of mssql functions. I receive the following error 
messages:


Warning: 0 is not a Sybase link index in /www/teste/echo.php on line 7

Warning: 0 is not a Sybase link index in /www/teste/echo.php on line 11

Warning: 0 is not a Sybase result index in /www/teste/echo.php on line 13

Do you have any idea ?
