- Just today I've experienced the same problem when I switched from
- static binding to dynamic binding. After some testing I've found out
- that it is the ONTOS library that causes the problems. The workaround I
- use is to link this library statically by explicitly refering to
- libONTOS.a instead of -lONTOS.
-
- A colleague of mine had the same problems with other libraries. His
- assumption is that this behaviour is caused by "extern" definition
- which cannot be resolved correctly in the shared library. The old SunOS
- 4.1.2 linker didn't probably check this. However the error message
- produced by the linker seems to be very strange.
-
- Hope this helps
