Strange. Shared libraries have by default exported symbols. You may
add GNOKII_API to declaration and definition. That may help.

Hm. That's true unfortunately. Current design makes the driver to
close the link. The solution would be to add the additional
operations:
GN_OP_UnloadDriver
GN_OP_CloseLink
Then for what you want, you'd call not GN_OP_Terminate (as
gn_lib_phone_close() does) but GN_OP_CloseLink.

Over bluetooth? Serial? Irda? That may have something to do either
with the driver or with the device itself.

take care,
