Oracle Error Message

ORA-30136: Drop-in compatibility is not supported for this application

Reason for the Error

The current application is statically linked with defopt.o from an older release, which is incompatible with the current client shared library.

Solution

1) Relink the application against the new release of the client library; or 2) Relink the application against the older release of the client library without statically linking defopt.o.
