| $ g++ x.c -ldb_cxx
| /usr/bin/ld: a.out: hidden symbol `__dso_handle' in
| /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.3/crtbegin.o is referenced by DSO
| collect2: ld returned 1 exit status


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

db4-devel-4.1.25-7
gcc-3.3-14
binutils-2.14.90.0.4-23

Comment 1 Jakub Jelinek 2003-07-28 20:15:05 UTC
That means libdb_cxx has been built incorrectly.
nm -Du /usr/lib/libdb_cxx.so | grep __dso_handle
         U __dso_handle
Quick guess is that ld -shared instead of g++ -shared is used to link that
shared library.

Comment 2 Jeff Johnson 2003-09-26 01:48:58 UTC
I'll take this one ...

Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2003-10-21 19:39:44 UTC
This is fixed in current rawhide.
