Trying to compile and link some programs I wrote many years ago and have been using often. I last compiled under Kubuntu version 10 and decided to update and compile new features. Using the same make file that worked for years, but getting linker errors for unresolved externals. The compilation gives me warnings about needing a format string for fprintf, but that is because the format string used has no '%' specifiers (I assume that is the reason it doesn't like the format string) and about ignoring function return values. I was going to fix those but decided to leave as is. Other than the warning messages, the compilation gives no errors. The relevant make file line is: $(CC) -o $@ -ldl -rdynamic $(OBJS) CC is defined simply as gcc and OBJS is the list of object files. The linker error messages are: home$ make linking gcc -o qtgrep.bin -ldl -rdynamic buffer.o displayu.o findfile.o getopt.o grepdfa.o date.o re_compile.o re_exec.o re_read.o re_write.o kw_compile.o kw_exec.o kw_read.o kw_write.o scan.o set_expr.o read_pat_file.o free_pat.o write_pat_file.o memory_fun.o set_expr.o: In function `QTGrep_load_compiled_searches': /home/terry/Source/QTGrep_Multiple/set_expr.c:2036: undefined reference to `dlclose' /home/terry/Source/QTGrep_Multiple/set_expr.c:2042: undefined reference to `dlerror' /home/terry/Source/QTGrep_Multiple/set_expr.c:2045: undefined reference to `dlopen' /home/terry/Source/QTGrep_Multiple/set_expr.c:2047: undefined reference to `dlerror' /home/terry/Source/QTGrep_Multiple/set_expr.c:2052: undefined reference to `dlsym' /home/terry/Source/QTGrep_Multiple/set_expr.c:2053: undefined reference to `dlerror' /home/terry/Source/QTGrep_Multiple/set_expr.c:2067: undefined reference to `dlerror' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [qtgrep.bin] Error 1 I used locate and got: home$ locate libdl. /dos/Vista/cygwin/lib/libdl.a /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 /lib32/libdl.so.2 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.a /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so I created links in /lib as: /lib/libdl.a to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.a and /lib/libdl.so to/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so hoping that would solve the problem. No Joy. So I decided that is was time to ask the experts and found this mailing list. The answer is probably simple to those in the know, but I ran out of things to try for now. Will keep trying, but thought it quicker to ask. Thanks for your help on this. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/missing-libraries-under-Kubuntu-12.04%2C-64-bit-tp33950674p33950674.html Sent from the gcc - Help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
