Hi, Ian. That's the message received: helcio@jaguar: gcc -Wall test2.c test2.c: Na função ‘main’: /tmp/ccab0AHD.o: In function `main': test2.c:(.text+0xa): undefined reference to `dlq_createQue' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status As root, I've type 'ldconfig'. Nothing changed at all.

However, when I type 'gcc -Wall test2.c', there is a message relating undefined references. The executable was not generated. A problem at link time is most likely not due to LD_LIBRARY_PATH. When reporting an error message, please cut and paste the exact, complete, error output. Otherwise we don't know what happened. Ian
