Hello Raymond,
From the nm output that you provided, we can see that the requested
symbol pca_path_completions() is _Local_ to the library. It is not a
publicly available symbol. So the error message is logical.
But as libtecla is bundled with Solaris, it looks to me like the API
exported by the library is incomplete - Probably this function has been
forgotten from the mapfile as it is declared using the CPL_MATCH_FN
macro - and it is documented in the manual.
Raymond, you should open a bug against libtecla in this case.
Probably something in:
Product: solaris
Category: library
Subcategory: libtecla
HTH,
William.
