Hi again all, I've done a bit of Googling on this and it appears that
this behaviour has something to do with changes that have been made to
the linker behaviour

Fedora page and I'm using Mint but the symptoms seem identical).
Hi again,
I've now got a bit further forward and have got make to work. I had an
awful lot of problems due to the explicit linkage issue that seems to be
caused by recent versions of gcc (I'm using 4.6.1)
From a virgin qpid-0.12.tar.gz download I had to
cd qpid-0.12/cpp
patch -p1
I *think I've cracked this..
I built everything fresh and added the patches fresh and make install
seemed to then work. I was a bit baffled then realised my shell had some
environment variables set.
My suspicion is that I needed to have
export LDFLAGS=-L`dirname $(pwd)`/cpp/src/.libs
set
