Fuad,

You find a difference between 10g and 9i libraries, and assume that
this is the cause of the compilation problems (pl/sql ?).

Whatever difference you found cannot be the cause, for .a shows that
it is static library whereas .so shows that it is linked dynamically.
The difference is that oracle has changed the way how libraries are
linked.
