compiling differences b/w 6.6B & 6.6A

Hi

I've a problem with the code that it compiles and executes on using CVF 6.6A but when I try to compile the same program using CVF 6.6B, i get linker errors. The main error is

errorLNK2001: unresolved external symbol _for_read_dir_i8
errorLNK2001: unresolved external symbol _for_write_dir_i8

1. I wanted to know if this is due to the difference in libraries or compatability b/w the 2 compilers 6.6A & 6.6B?
2. Also please tell me if there are scenarios where programs that compile with CVF 6.6A dont compile with CVF 6.6B?

Hope someone can help me.

Thanks

What is happening is that we made a change to the compiler in 6.6A to enable support of INTEGER*8 record numbers for direct access. In order to link, you need to have the corresponding 6.6A or later run-time library, which added a set of new routines.

I would say that your "6.6B" installation has a mismatch between the compiler and run-time library, as normally this error should not occur. Perhaps you have an old set of libraries in a separate directory that you're linking to?
