Anthony, sorry to bother again but I do not seem to understand what's exactly going on, which along with the fact that I am only using Linux for a year and a half makes things even worse. >When I said you need to force the library into you program, I meant by >creating mysql-connector-java-3.1.8.a file and the linking with >-Wl,--whole-archive,-lmysql-connector-java-3.1.8,--no-whole-archive. I see, but how am I supposed to create an archive .a file from the .jar? Doesn't this procedure involve libtool or something? Again, sorry for asking again, but I just want to make things a little bit clearer. I am not a programmer so please be a little bit lenient with me :-) . Spyros "Foucault" Stathopoulos PS. The last trick didn't work indeed!
