It depends on your compiler. Under Windows you use MS VC++ while under linux gcc. I had your same problem. I decided to develop my UDF under linux excusively because it's very easy to use gcc and to link to external libraries. Luca

Hi Rashmi

If you created it on Unix Platform and are trying to run it on Windows it will give error. Use the command unix2dos <filename> in unix to convert the format. For you the file will remain same but for OSs it changes. Likewise you can give command dos2unix <filename> for the udfs created in windows and are required to be used in unix or linux.
