grep isn't needed, you can do something like $ readelf --symbols --wide /opt/kde3/lib64/libkdecore.so and it's more efficient as readelf reads only the needed parts of the library binary. If the library is a C++ one (like most KDE4 and Trinity ones) you can get the meaningful function names by using c++filt (it's in binutils): $ readelf --symbols --wide /opt/kde3/lib64/libkdecore.so | c++filt
Once you know the library name, try appending it as a
linker flag to
the koffice/filters/chalk/gmagick/Makefile.am LDFLAGS
string; e.g if
you found libfoo.so.1.0.0 contains the symbol then you
would append
-lfoo
Okay, thanks for the speedy lesson. :)
Same result: same file. :) Although the readelf command provides a more readable display.
