One simple, messy way is to specify the -l's twice, e.g. LIBS => '-L /path/to/libs/ -lfirst -lsecond -lthird -lfirst -lsecond -lthird' The problem is that the C-linker only picks the symbols it knows it needs from each library. Listing them twice gives it the right information. -- Lars Balker Rasmussen Consult::Perl
