Thanks for the bug report. With the changes to the linker in 11.10+, you must be sure when compiling to specify the -llibrary arguments after the objects that reference them.
In the case above: gcc -o main $(xml2-config --cflags --libs) main.o should be: gcc -o main main.o $(xml2-config --cflags --libs) so that the -llibrary args end up at the end of the command line. Please see http://wiki.debian.org/ToolChain/DSOLinking for an overview of the changes. ** Changed in: libxml2 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1032639 Title: can not link against libxml2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libxml2/+bug/1032639/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
