Subject: libc6-dev gives undefined symbol: stat

Date: Fri, 30 Mar 2001 17:24:10 +0200

Package: libc6-dev
Version: 2.2.2-2 and above.

When I run my C++ program using the new libc6-dev package (2.2.2-2 or
2.2.2-4), i get the following error message:

../main: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libpf.so.1:
undefined symbol: stat

libpf.so.1 is a library of SGI's Linux Performer version 2.4 (latest)

I don't have this problem with version 2.2.2-1 of libc6-dev and libc6,
only with versions 2.2.2-2 and up.

Compiling and linking runs smoothly on 2.2.2-2 and 2.2.2-4, just running
the program gives this error.

I'm running debian gnu/linux 2.4, kernel 2.4.1.

You need to upgrade your compiler to gcc 2.95.3-9 or later. It's not a
glibc bug. If that doesn't fix it, then SGI needs to compile that
library correctly (as in against -lc, which is how libc_nonshared get's
included, and where fstat comes from).
