Okay, I've found the problem, but I'm at a loss as to how to fix it. This gets into deep dark arcane magic with libtool and make that I'm not really up on. The final compile line that the make file generates (on my system) is:
gcc -g -O2 -Wall -Wunused -Wall -Wno-unused -Werror-implicit-function-declaration -I/usr/include/pgsql -I/usr/include/pgsql -I/usr/include/gtk-1.2 -I/usr/include/glib-1.2 -I/usr/lib/glib/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/include/gnome-1.0 -DNEED_GNOMESUPPORT_H -I/usr/lib/gnome-libs/include -I/usr/include/orbit-1.0 -I/usr/include -o .libs/gnucash MultiLedger.o SplitLedger.o EuroUtils.o FileDialog.o gnc-component-manager.o gnc-exp-parser.o gnc-main.o gnc-ui-util.o messages.o -rdynamic -rdynamic -rdynamic -rdynamic -rdynamic register/libgncregister.a register/gnome/libgncregistergnome.a guile/libgncguile.a gnome/libgncgnome.a calculation/libgnccalc.a engine/.libs/libgncengine.so -L/usr/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib /usr/lib/libguppitank.so /usr/lib/libguppi.so -lzvt -lutil /usr/lib/libbonobo-print.so /usr/lib/libg-wrap-runtime-guile.so /usr/lib/libguile.so /usr/lib/libgtkhtml.so /usr/lib/libbonobo.so /usr/lib/libbonobox.so /usr/lib/libgal.so /usr/lib/libgnomeprint.so /usr/lib/libfreetype.so /usr/lib/libglade-gnome.so /usr/lib/libglade.so /usr/lib/libxml.so -lz /usr/lib/libgdk_pixbuf.so /usr/lib/libgnomecanvaspixbuf.so -lgnomeui -lart_lgpl /usr/lib/libgdk_imlib.so -lSM -lICE -lgnome -lgnomesupport /usr/lib/libesd.so /usr/lib/libaudiofile.so /usr/lib/libgconf-gtk-1.so /usr/lib/libgconf-1.so /usr/lib/liboaf.so -lORBitCosNaming -lORBit -lIIOP -lORBitutil /usr/lib/libgtk.so /usr/lib/libgdk.so /usr/lib/libgmodule.so /usr/lib/libglib.so -ldl -lXi -lXext -lX11 /usr/lib/libghttp.so -ldb1 /usr/lib/libpopt.so -lm I think (but I'm not sure) that this is actually generated by libtool. The problem is that it's missing a reference to gnome/libgncgnome that should be right after the series of -rdynamic statements. If I manually add it and run the new line: gcc -g -O2 -Wall -Wunused -Wall -Wno-unused -Werror-implicit-function-declaration -I/usr/include/pgsql -I/usr/include/pgsql -I/usr/include/gtk-1.2 -I/usr/include/glib-1.2 -I/usr/lib/glib/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/include/gnome-1.0 -DNEED_GNOMESUPPORT_H -I/usr/lib/gnome-libs/include -I/usr/include/orbit-1.0 -I/usr/include -o .libs/gnucash MultiLedger.o SplitLedger.o EuroUtils.o FileDialog.o gnc-component-manager.o gnc-exp-parser.o gnc-main.o gnc-ui-util.o messages.o -rdynamic -rdynamic -rdynamic -rdynamic -rdynamic gnome/libgncgnome.a register/libgncregister.a register/gnome/libgncregistergnome.a guile/libgncguile.a gnome/libgncgnome.a calculation/libgnccalc.a engine/.libs/libgncengine.so -L/usr/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib /usr/lib/libguppitank.so /usr/lib/libguppi.so -lzvt -lutil /usr/lib/libbonobo-print.so /usr/lib/libg-wrap-runtime-guile.so /usr/lib/libguile.so /usr/lib/libgtkhtml.so /usr/lib/libbonobo.so /usr/lib/libbonobox.so /usr/lib/libgal.so /usr/lib/libgnomeprint.so /usr/lib/libfreetype.so /usr/lib/libglade-gnome.so /usr/lib/libglade.so /usr/lib/libxml.so -lz /usr/lib/libgdk_pixbuf.so /usr/lib/libgnomecanvaspixbuf.so -lgnomeui -lart_lgpl /usr/lib/libgdk_imlib.so -lSM -lICE -lgnome -lgnomesupport /usr/lib/libesd.so /usr/lib/libaudiofile.so /usr/lib/libgconf-gtk-1.so /usr/lib/libgconf-1.so /usr/lib/liboaf.so -lORBitCosNaming -lORBit -lIIOP -lORBitutil /usr/lib/libgtk.so /usr/lib/libgdk.so /usr/lib/libgmodule.so /usr/lib/libglib.so -ldl -lXi -lXext -lX11 /usr/lib/libghttp.so -ldb1 /usr/lib/libpopt.so -lm it happily links and compiles. I've tried hacking the makefile, and I can't figure out what I need to do to make it stick the "gnome/libgncgnome" in. If I stick in an arbitrary text string it makes it in there, and of course I get an error because the file doesn't exist. If I stick in "gnome/libgncgnome" it seems to get eaten -- by libtool? Any pointers would be appreciated. At least things are compiling once again, albeit inconveniently. --On Friday, March 29, 2002 12:13:53 PM -0500 "Michael T.
