      This seemed to work. GCC no longer complains about the the mSQL library
   not being there. However, it does look like there is something in the msql
   library that is not being referenced properly.

   gcc test.c -I/usr/local/Minerva/include -L/usr/local/Minerva/lib -lmsql
   Undefined first referenced
    symbol in file
   socket /usr/local/Minerva/lib/libmsql.a(libmsql.o)
   gethostbyname /usr/local/Minerva/lib/libmsql.a(libmsql.o)
   setsockopt /usr/local/Minerva/lib/libmsql.a(libmsql.o)
   getservbyname /usr/local/Minerva/lib/libmsql.a(libmsql.o)
   ntohs /usr/local/Minerva/lib/libmsql.a(libmsql.o)
   inet_addr /usr/local/Minerva/lib/libmsql.a(libmsql.o)
   shutdown /usr/local/Minerva/lib/libmsql.a(libmsql.o)
   htons /usr/local/Minerva/lib/libmsql.a(libmsql.o)
   connect /usr/local/Minerva/lib/libmsql.a(libmsql.o)

Oh, yeah, Solaris. Try adding " -lsocket -lnsl"

Sun decided that the Berkeley sockets interface was sufficiently
"non-standard" that they put it in its own library.
