Compilation/Linking of SAPRFC SDK on Linux

[Former Member]

Dear All,

I have downloaded SAPRFC SDK version 6.4 ia32 bit for Linux. I am trying to compile sample code which is with SDK but getting lots of error as below. I am doubting about the mismatch of Linux version/compiler version.

I am using gcc 3.2 and Linux EL3( $uname -a

Linux localhost.localdomain 2.4.21-27.EL #1 Wed Dec 1 22:08:15 EST 2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux)

Can anyone guide us to resolve the issue.

Thanks & Regards,

Manish Mittal

Hi,

you are running RHEL3 U4, correct?

RHEL3 uses glibc-2.3.2, which is in some ways incomaptible with glibc 2.2.

The RFC SDK libs you want to use, were build against glibc-2.2 though and therefore need some of those symbols.

One possible solution to this is to provide the missing symbols on your own.

Check <http://www.ticam.utexas.edu/misc/ctype.c> for this approach.

Regards,

Oliver

I had the same problem.

I found the solution in SAP n° Note 955397 ( RFC SDK on linux).

In resum, they are some incompatibily betwean gcc version, glic version and library RFC version..

On my system, we had :

gcc version 4.1.1

glibc version 2.5

RFC library version 640

With this versions, we had the same compilation error.

We upgraded RFC library on version 700, and all works !!
