Hi John, Brian Thanks much for your information. I checked and found that the libraries are C++ and I had to add /usr/lib/libC.a in AIX and /usr/lib/libCstd.so.1 for Solaris and it worked fine. Thanks for the information on the C++ ABI, it was helpful.

All C compilers on those two respective platforms comply with the platform ABI. (Now if you were using C++, that'd be a different story, since their is no standard C++ ABI.)

I have a 3rd party software which has been created using native AIX and Solaris compilers as shared library and archive. I have recently ported my application to compile and link with GCC on Solars and AIX. I need to use this 3rd party software to complete to test. Is there any way I can make this link. Your help will be greatly appreciated. With Regards Vardhan
