Cause

The client should specify the shared object (so) instead of archived (a) libezttool library.  (He should specify the libezttool.so instead of the libezttool.a library.

Environment

Release : 11.6

Component : CA EASYTRIEVE REPORT GENERATOR FOR FOR LINUX PC

Resolution

The client should specify the shared object (so) instead of archived (a) libezttool library. That means changing "a" here: 

ezt -o /easy/thlib/test/object/TVA119M -I /easy/thlib/test/mac -I /easy/opt/macros /easy/opt/bin/libezttool.a -L /easy/thlib/test/source/TVA119M.ezt > /easy/thlib/etc/log/TVA119M.lst 

... 

to "so": 

... 

ezt -o /easy/thlib/test/object/TVA119M -I /easy/thlib/test/mac -I /easy/opt/macros /easy/opt/bin/libezttool.so -L /easy/thlib/test/source/TVA119M.ezt > /easy/thlib/etc/log/TVA119M.lst 

...

should resolve the problem.
