Background : i have a number of modules, some containing subroutines, that are  
compiled and archived to a library.  ranlib is used to maintain the library.

Problem : the next set of compiles i do call some of the subroutines already  
archived above.  the loader complains about a number of these subroutines being  
undefined symbols.  % otool mylib.a reveals that all of the subroutines are in  
fact in the library table of contents.

i have tried reordering the library and using ranlib with the -c option to no  
avail.


any suggestions?

thanks in advance for the help
