Does compilation work for other files ok? (i.e. does a simple application
and/or a dynamically loadable file (csc option -s) compile + link)


cheers,
felix

Compilation works for other provided I don't use the -s option. I see the same linking errors when I give the dynamically loadable option.
I have the config.log from where I built chicken. Is there anything that I can get from there? So far, a grep on dynamic gave me the following
