Symbol __strtollmax (number 23) is not exported .... what's this mean

[jimlocigno]

Hi,
I inherited a C program that connects to db2. We know we have to recompile the program with a 64 bit C-Compiler. For this I used gcc that our unix admins put on our box a while ago. I can get it the bind to work and the recompile works ( a few warnings but they are nothing new).

However, when I run the program I get the following error:
exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program /gpfs/sdv/component/common/sequence/jimseq because of the following errors:

        0509-130 Symbol resolution failed for jimseq because:
        0509-136   Symbol __strtollmax (number 23) is not exported from
                   dependent module /usr/lib/libc.a(shr.o).
        0509-192 Examine .loader section symbols with the
                 'dump -Tv' command.

I have searched the web for this error message and the best I can find is they say to upgrade your os to newer than 4.3. Well we are at 5.1 already!

Unfortuneatly the person who wrote this program has since left the company so I have the oppourtunity to figure it out.

Other Stats:
OS: AIX 5.1.1
Compiler Used: gcc - according to unix admin this has been 64-bit enabled on the box that I am using.

Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Never Mind. I figured what to do. In gcc there is a specific switch to compile with that enables 64-bit pointers.
