Hello list,

This message is completely off topic, I know, don't flame me for it. I'm
sorry to waste your time, but I'm very grateful for any hints on this.
The problem is that I want to link against the XML library staticly. I'm
running a CGI application on an Intel Linux box and the webserver
doesn't load libraries from /usr/local/lib. As you guessed, my
application uses libxml (2.2.9).
Suppose I have this test code:

main.cc 

--
#include <iostream.h>

extern "C" {
#include <libxml/parser.h>
}

int main () {
        xmlDocPtr doc = xmlParseFile("t.xml");
        return 0; 
}
--

The following line should built a static binary:
$ g++ -static -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib -lxml -o main
main.cc

But instead returns:
/tmp/ccUnSUvY.o: In function `main':
/tmp/ccUnSUvY.o(.text+0xc): undefined reference to `xmlParseFile'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I compiled main.cc and checked the undefined symbols, they are:
$ nm main.o
00000000 ? __FRAME_BEGIN__
         U __throw
00000000 t gcc2_compiled.
00000000 T main
         U xmlParseFile

I checked the exported symbols in /usr/local/lib/libxml.a to be sure:
$nm /usr/local/lib/libxml.a | grep xmlParseFile
0000e724 T xmlParseFile
         U xmlParseFile
         U xmlParseFile

These objects should link right? or not? I found a configure flag
--with-gnu-ld but I have no idea what it exactly does and it doesn't fix
my problem.
TIA for you help.
