Hi Ethan,

Please find the detail report. I got the below, at the end of the gaim

I checked "nm" on libgaim and got the messages like,

Please find the attached log file (nm_libgaim_log.tar.gz) for "nm" of
libgaim.a for your reference.
This tar.gz file contains the nm_libgaim_log.txt log file

Thanks.

For the first question, I'd like to see the actual ld invocation done at
compile time, after all those Makefile.am variables are expanded; it should
be right above the error you pasted.  It includes all of the .o files going
into the library, all of the compile flags, etc.

When I said ldd, I didn't mean ldd, I meant nm.  Could you re-run that
with nm?  (You'll probably want to make it an attachment, it will be very
large).

1. In my Makefile.am, I link gaim library as
AM_LDFLAGS = -L$(top_srcdir)/$(GAIM_LIB_DIR)-lgaim
Where GAIM_LIB_DIR is
"/export/home/lingforum/SunOS-i86pc/gaim-2.0.0beta6/install/lib"

The linking error is as follows:
----------8<------------
Undefined                       first referenced
 symbol                             in file

/export/home/lingforum/SunOS-i86pc/gaim-2.0.0beta6/install/lib/libgaim.a(core.o)
gaim_init_jabber_plugin 
/export/home/lingforum/SunOS-i86pc/gaim-2.0.0beta6/install/lib/libgaim.a(core.o)
gaim_init_yahoo_plugin  
/export/home/lingforum/SunOS-i86pc/gaim-2.0.0beta6/install/lib/libgaim.a(core.o)
gaim_init_msn_plugin    
/export/home/lingforum/SunOS-i86pc/gaim-2.0.0beta6/install/lib/libgaim.a(core.o)
ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to gaimtest
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
---------->8------------

2. I think "ldd" can be used for executable or shared libraries. Anyway
here is the output.
$ ldd libgaim.a
ldd: libgaim.a: file is not a dynamic executable or shared object

Thanks.

lingforum, can you get me the final linking line for libgaim.a?  Also, I
would appreciate the output of 'ldd libgaim.a'.
