Hi,

I searched the archives for -users and -dev (not exhaustively, but for several months back...), without anything related to my question:

I've installed the XonX Xfree86 packages on Mac OS X, and am trying to build ethereal. I get the following complaints during the link phase:

/usr/bin/ld: multiple definitions of symbol _plugin_init
/usr/bin/ld: multiple definitions of symbol _plugin_reg_handoff
/usr/bin/ld: multiple definitions of symbol _version

The symbols are all duplicated in the same four libraries, e.g.,

plugins/gryphon/.libs/libgryphon.a(packet-gryphon.o) definition of _plugin_init in section (__TEXT,__text) plugins/mgcp/.libs/libmgcp.a(packet-mgcp.o) definition of _plugin_init in section (__TEXT,__text) plugins/giop/.libs/libcoseventcomm.a(packet-coseventcomm.o) definition of _plugin_init in section (__TEXT,__text) plugins/giop/.libs/libcosnaming.a(packet-cosnaming.o) definition of _plugin_init in section (__TEXT,__text)

Any thoughts?

Regards,

Justin
