Hi,
Presently I am attempting to build an application on Linux with GNU ld
version 2.17.50.0.6-5.el5 20061020. When I execute make, it compiles but
when it reaches the linker I receive the following error messages,
make[1]: Entering directory

Hi Nick,
I think I was having some problems before with the libxvtmapi.a file
because I was mixing some of the XVT 5.50 code with the XVT 5.80 code.
