I have an application that runs fine on hamm and slink, but on potato
it says
undefined symbol: _fstat
The application was compiled with NAG FORTRAN 95, and the
symbol is referenced by a shared library that was provided
with the compiler. I've verified that _fstat is a system routine
of some sort, not a NAG routine. Does anyone know more specifically
where it comes from, and in what way it has changed between slink
and potato? (If indeed it has changed; I may just not be able to
link with it.)
After looking at some web pages that are way over
my head, all I could determine is that it has something to do with
gcc and/or libc6.
I've reported my problem to NAG, but I expect better results here
because it's Linux that's changed recently, not the compiler.
libc6 FAQ
2.7. Looking through the shared libc file I haven't found the
functions `stat', `lstat', `fstat', and `mknod' and while
linking on my Linux system I get error messages. How is
this supposed to work?
{RM} Believe it or not, stat and lstat (and fstat, and mknod) are supposed
to be undefined references in libc.so.6! Your problem is probably a missing
or incorrect /usr/lib/libc.so file; note that this is a small text file now,
not a symlink to libc.so.6. It should look something like this:
GROUP ( libc.so.6 libc_nonshared.a )
OK
