Description Derek Tattersall 1999-09-01 17:07:54 UTC 
Linking testdbm with /usr/lib/libndbm.so causes undefined
references to
testdbm.o(.text+0x1c0): undefined reference to `fetch'
testdbm.o(.text+0x2a1): undefined reference to `store'
testdbm.o(.text+0x328): undefined reference to `delete'
testdbm.o(.text+0x35d): undefined reference to `firstkey'
testdbm.o(.text+0x384): undefined reference to `fetch'
testdbm.o(.text+0x3e9): undefined reference to `nextkey'
testdbm.o(.text+0x413): undefined reference to `fetch'
testdbm.o(.text+0x469): undefined reference to `firstkey'
testdbm.o(.text+0x49d): undefined reference to `nextkey'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

In fact the referenced entry points are not in the library.

ndbm is not gdbm, do not confuse the two.
