No, you're not doing anything wrong - again, it's an error being thrown
up by a more modern compiler.

Bongo creates a number of libraries, and within each library you have
"symbols" - often, the names of functions. Those functions may exist
within that library, they may exist within other libraries.

Unfortunately, as part of its heritage, Bongo's libraries tend to be
heavily reliant on each other - they all call functions in each other.
The error message is saying that it can't find symbols in one library,
which is not surprising because they're defined in another.

On less modern systems, this isn't much of a problem: the compiler
ignores the missing symbols, and when stuff is run all the libraries are
loaded up and all the missing symbols are resolved. 

We are beginning to do major clean-up work in the libraries, so
hopefully over the next couple of weeks we can get rid of these problems
- there may also be a work-around too, although what that might be I
don't know right now!

Thanks

Alex.
