    I'm trying to "make everything" based on the AAF-src-1.1.6.tar.gz distribution on an Ubuntu 11.10 system.
    Unfortunately I'm running into some link errors when the examples shall be build:

    Any idea what lib is missing here?

    The dlopen/dlerror etc. symbols are present in the dynamic linker loader library (dl).  That library is provided to g++ at the start of the line: 'g++ -ldl …'. In your case (version of g++) the '-ldl' needs to be after the '-laaflib' to allow g++ to find the symbols required from aaflib.

    A quick hack (a proper fix would require more investigation by the maintainers) is to add this line at the end of AAF/build/pdefs-i586Linux.mk file:
    PLATFORMLIBS = -ldl

    Hi Philip,

    thanks a lot for the hack. It works :-)
    For anyone else trying to build on Ubuntu - I also had to install and refer libuuid as follows:
    sudo apt-get install uuid-dev
    export UUIDLIB=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libuuid.so

    Thanks for the info both of you. This also resolved the same issue on Ubuntu 13.04. I already had the uuid files loaded but it wasn't looking in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu so like the previous post I added it the path and this did work.
