Compilation problems.

[Letalis]

Ive run slack for a while now and it has worked like a breeze. But now problems has arizen (is that a word?) and Im getting quite irritated. First it was gtk that couldnt be located by any configure script. Not even after many re,over,un and again re-installs. And now other problems has appeared.
Whenever i try to compile an application that uses X it gives me these errors:
"/usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so: undefined reference to `shmctl@@GLIBC_2.0'"
What is this all about?

you just need to have glibc 2.0 (or higher) installed on your system.

better make a new install or/update of development package (gcc, all core libraries, make and so on).

Ive tried both to remove,reinstall and upgraded from both the slack 7.1 cd and downloaded packages but nothing seems to work it still gives me:
/usr/X11/lib/libX11.so: undefined reference to `shmctl@@GLIBC_2.0'

Heeeeelp! It drives me crazy.

Letalis:

have you found a solution yet????

I've having the same troubles.. except I've got the latest releases of gcc, g++, gtk, glib, etc..etc..

by using the command nm -A /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so | grep shmctl, I found the call that is undefined.

And, if I run nm -A /usr/lib/libc.so | grep shmctl, I find a defined reference to shmctl@@GLIBC_2.0.

My question is, is there a way to link the call in X11 to the real call in libc?

Anyone?


I'd like to find a solution to this horrid problem. :)
