8l requires it to be mentioned/presented in order, and once it moves on from a library, requires still needed libraries to be repeatedly mentioned/presented even if "the same library" was already mentioned previously. As per 8l "When scanning such libraries, the algorithm is to scan each library repeatedly until no new undefined symbols are picked up, then to start on the next library. Thus if library A needs B which needs A again, it may be necessary to mention A explicitly so it will be read a second time." So your problem lib is probably having put libf2c.a first. -- Greg Comeau / 4.3.10.1 with C++0xisms now in beta!
