Thanks, I will look at getting the patch installed.

I was assuming the .cfg had links that told it where to look -
compiling a niot very wonderful bit of .pc, simply using
$ proc essenq.pc

Pro*C/C++: Release 10.2.0.2.0 - Production on Wed Nov 25 20:27:31 2009
System default option values taken from: ora_proc20:pcscfg.cfg


I Then get messages that it cannot find the basic C header files:

Error at line 38, column 11 in file essenq.pc
# include       <stdio.h>
..........1
PCC-S-02015, unable to open include file
Error at line 39, column 11 in file essenq.pc


So presumably it doesnt know DECC etc.
