undefined symbol


Hi all

I have a typical UNDEFINED SYMBOL prob over here. Here is the situation:

1. I have a cpp proggy calling a function not defined locally called
connect_oracle.
2. When I do nm of the .o file of this .cpp file, the name of the symbol I
get is
   connect_oracle__Fv  and not connect_oracle.
3. This fn is defined in a library made of c sources. When I do nm of this
lib
   the symbol is defined as connect_oracle.
4. Even though I give the full path of this library at the time of linking,
the linker does not
   resolve this symbol from the library.

I cannot understand this behavior of the linker.

Any pointers

TIA,
Victor
