/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lsqlnet
 

Hi I am trying to compile one program using make
make throws an error

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lsqlnet

can some one tell me what could be the problem?

Hi and welcome to LinuxQuestions! The error message means the library libsqlnet.so or libsqlnet.a cannot be found on your system. Googlin' around it looks like it is provided by a Oracle installation, hence the software you're trying to install depends on Oracle database, doesn't it?

Hi Actually
I was compiling a pro*C program when i encountered that error.

Indeed, Pro*C is the Oracle's embedded SQL environment and it requires the Oracle development libraries.
