unresolved symbol

[Fred K. Abell Jr._1]

I am trying to compile eventlog-0.2.5 using a gcc compiler from the porting center in the UK. I had to make a few links to point to libs in gtk, but now I get the error:
"/usr/lib/dld.sl: Unresolved symbol: libintl_bindtextdomain (code) from gcc"

I rarely program, and am at a stand still with this error.

Thanks in advance.

did you download and install "ALL" the co-requisites ??

[Dennis Handly]

You use the following to search for the shlib:
nm -pxAN /path-to_shlibs/lib* | grep libintl_bindtextdomain

[Sandeep_Chaudhary]

u have bto install "gettext" package.
Please see the thread:

Tim,

I did download and install all the co-requisites.

Dennis,

The response to nm -pxAN /path-to_shlibs/lib* | grep libintl_bindtextdomain
is "nm: /path-to_shlibs/lib*: cannot open"

Sandeep,

Gettext is installed with the gnome and gtk installs.

[Tim Nelson]

I think Dennis wanted you to substitute "path-to_shlibs" with your path to your shared libs.

e.g.

nm -pxAN /usr/lib* | grep libintl_bindtextdomain/usr/lib
or
nm -pxAN /usr/local/lib/lib* | grep libintl_bindtextdomain


etc...

[Fred K. Abell Jr._1]

Sorry, this is my first third party software installation. And, the system crashed the other day and I had to rebuild.

Okay, I get the following:
# nm -pxAN /usr/lib* | grep libintl_bindtextdomain/usr/lib
nm: /usr/lib: bad magic
# nm -pxAN /usr/local/lib/lib* | grep libintl_bindtextdomain
nm: /usr/local/lib/libbfd.la: bad magic

Lots of bad magic, whatever that is?

>Tim: I think Dennis wanted you to substitute "path-to_shlibs"

Yes.

># nm -pxAN /usr/lib* | grep libintl_bindtextdomain/usr/lib
nm: /usr/lib: bad magic

Tim's typo. This should be:
nm -pxAN /usr/lib/lib* usr/local/lib/lib* | grep libintl_bindtextdomain

>Lots of bad magic, whatever that is?

Basically these are non-library files that just happen to be in these directories.

But most importantly nm didn't find libintl_bindtextdomain.

If you want to be pedantic you could also use:
odump -slexport /usr/lib/lib* | grep libintl_bindtextdomain

[Fred K. Abell Jr._1]

OK, I have never used nm nor odump. But I do like being pedantic! I appreciate your efforts to help me. The results are:
