[Plib-users] Undefined reference to ...

[Ibrahim M. <ib...@ya...>]

Hi,

I am trying to compile a project that uses plib, but no use. I get a lot of "... undefined
reference to ..." errors. So I tried to compile the examples that came with the plib-doc package,
but I am getting the same kind of errors. To make sure that the plib header files were found at
compile time, I uninstalled plib and plib-dev. in this case I would get "plib/pu.h file not found"
etc... errors. I reinstalled plib and plib-dev. I am back to getting the "... undefined reference
to ..." errors. I think that the declerations for these functions are found, but not their
definitions. Anyone knows what is going on?

Here is my setup:
I am using Debian with kernel 2.4.25 and the unstable packages plib1.7c102, plib1.7-dev, and
plib-doc (version 1.6). These packages were installed using apt-get. I tried both plib version 1.7
and 1.6, but I am facing the same problem. Now I am using version 1.7. I am also using XFree 4.3
and KDE 3.1.5
I have both gcc 2.95 and 3.0 installed along with g++2.95. I don't know how to check which one is
used by make.
plib header files are installed in /usr/include/plib/
plib lib files are in /usr/lib/

Here is the output I get when I do a make in the examples' source directory:

[...]/plib-doc/src$ make
