Hi, I have some troubles with file linking on my PC (AMD x64, gcc 4.6, UBUNTU 12.04). Actually I have a small routine which links two software programmes together which worked fine during the last 3 years. But when installing a new programme version (due to a new license), I got some errors. The self written c-file has been compiled into an object code (program.o) as such: $ gcc -c -fPIC -I/PATH -I/PATH1 program.c Further, the shared object is made and connected to the other so-libraries (libfile1.so, ...) as such: $ gcc -shared program.o -o program.so -L/PATH2 -L/PATH -Wl,-rpath=/PATH -Wl,-rpath=PATH2 -lfile1 -lfile2 -lfile3 It compiles without error messages, but when I try to check if everything is linked properly, it gives me this: $ ld program.so ld: warning: libsvml.so, needed by /PATH2/libfile3.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link) ld: warning: libimf.so, needed by /PATH2/libfile3.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link) ld: warning: libguide.so, needed by /PATH2/libfile3.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link) ld: warning: libirc.so, needed by /PATH2/libfile3.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link) ld: warning: libcxaguard.so.5, needed by /PATH2/libfile3.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link) ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; not setting start address Its strange to me since the directory is given in the gcc syntax and the files are definitely there. So I can not figure out where the problem is, but I honestly have to admit that I am not an expert. Any help is most welcome!
