[openamq-dev] client application link problem

[blog]

I am trying to write a trivial client application under Fedora 7 linux.

I am experiencing some strange results when I try to link the OpenAMQ
libraries.  In this case my client is a C++ source file named
amq_test.cpp.

Here is the link line output.

/bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CXX --mode=link g++ -O0 -g3
-L/home/jack/open_source/OpenAMQ/lib -o amq_test amq_test.o -lamq_common
-lamq_operate -lamq_server -lamq_wireapi -lgsl -lapr -laprutil -lasl
-lgsl3 -licl -lipr -lpcre -lsfl -lsmt -lsmt3 -lzip 

g++ -O0 -g3 -o amq_test amq_test.o -L/home/jack/open_source/OpenAMQ/lib
-lamq_common -lamq_operate -lamq_server -lamq_wireapi /usr/lib/libgsl.so
-lapr -laprutil -lasl -lgsl3 -licl -lipr -lpcre -lsfl -lsmt -lsmt3 -lzip

g++: /usr/lib/libgsl.so: No such file or directory

Any idea why -lgsl.a is being magically converted to /usr/lib/libgsl.so
(which does not exist) ?  Is this a known issue, if so do I work around
it ?

Thanks,
Jack
