This isn't a compiler issue; it's a linker issue. At least for some of these, you need to add libcl.

Here's an approach that can be used to solve the general case of this problem:

1) Create a textfile that contains the symbol list from all libraries:

nm /usr/lib/lib* > mysymlist

2) Examine this text file for the undefined symbols:

vi mysymlist

You would search for "U_update_state_vector", for example. When you find the actual code your then do
a "? Symbols from" reverse search in vi and that will tell you the actual library name.

Learn this technique and you shouldn't have to ask this question again.

[Dennis Handly]

There are several things wrong here. The first is that you MUST use aCC -b to link aC++ shared libs. You can NOT use ld directly, or the C driver cc.

Also for aC++, you must NOT use the linker's -O option. (The warning (1594).)

You neglected to pass -b to the cc driver to pass on to ld. (This may be the real issue.)

When creating aC++ shlibs, you must following the directions on:
http://www.docs.hp.com/en/7762/5991-4874/distributing.htm#linking

If the intention of the comment "*** Expect unresolved references similar to" is to ignore unsats, perhaps you should not use +vshlibunsats.

Clay is right that you need -lcl to define some of the symbols. But an easier way to find the library that defines the symbols is to use:
$ nm -pxAN /usr/lib/lib*

The -A option prints the name of the lib with the symbol.

Thanks Clay & Dennis. Will check and revert back soon.
