Albert Thanks for replying.
The error linker is giving is: ... libY.so: undefined reference to 'Z' Also, this symbol is not used anywhere in any source code required to build application X ( i mean if X depends on x.c y.c z.c and library libY .. none of the sources x.c y.c and z.c use this symbol) I am using gcc version 3.3.1 ( MontaVista ) building for x86.

What specific error is the linker giving? What platform? -- albert chin ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) _______________________________________________ http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
