The symbol it claims is missing (FXApp::metaClass) is a static member of the
FXApp class, and it is declared by the FXDECLARE macro that appears in the
FXApp class definition:

    class FXAPI FXApp : public FXObject {
      FXDECLARE(FXApp)
      ... and so on ...
      };

The FXDECLARE macro itself is defined in FXObject.h:

    #define FXDECLARE(classname) \
      public: \
        struct FXMapEntry { ... }; \
        static const FXMetaClass metaClass; \
        ... and so on ...

So I can't see why this would be missing, unless something went wrong when
building the FOX library (libFOX.so). Just curious, can you run any of the
FOX example programs (i.e. those for the C++ library)? They are found under
the "tests" subdirectory of the FOX source code distribution.

Hope this helps,
