When linking large executables, the linker starts to claim that symbols are undefined when in fact they were defined the last time I linked the code! If I swap the order of the objects different objects become undefined while previously undefined objects are now okay. I'd suggest trying the additional flag "-b nodelcsect" on your links. This often makes those nasty unresolved symbols "go away". Lets just say that this flag should be the default, but it is not currently. A rule of thumb is that if your link involves duplicate symbols, then this flag will probably help. -- ********************************************************************* Rudy Chukran | EMAIL: | Voice: IBM AIX Porting Center | RSCS: CHUKRAN at AUSTIN |512-838-4674 11400 Burnet Rd. | AWDnet: rudy@chukran |Tieline: 678-4674 Internal ZIP 2830 | | Austin, Texas 78758 | | *********************************************************************
