Didn't help. :/

Maybe, but I'm really trying to avoid that.

I think my problem is that I just don't know what I'm doing as far as
linking goes. :) I only know a little C, and I'm a total newbie when
it comes to compiling and linking multi-file programs. The File.o file
in the libImaging directory compile just fine, and seems to have the
symbols defined, but coretest.o doesn't:

[~/src/Imaging-1.1/libImaging]: nm -t *.o | grep _ImagingSavePPM
File.o|0000031c|T|_ImagingSavePPM
coretest.o||U|_ImagingSavePPM

.. Nor does _imaging.o

[~/src/Imaging-1.1/libImaging]: cd ..
[~/src/Imaging-1.1]: nm -t *.o | grep _ImagingSavePPM
_imaging.o||U|_ImagingSavePPM

(for some reason, the compiler puts an underscore in front of every
symbol, but it happens with everything, so that isn't the problem)

One thing: make really did not like the backslashes at the ends of the
lines in the Setup.in file, so I took them out. So the _imaging lines
for my Setup file look like this:

_imaging  _imaging.c decode.c encode.c map.c display.c outline.c path.c
        -IlibImaging -IlibImaging/libImaging.a
        -lImaging

------

Maybe a better question is: Has anyone on this list successfully
compiled PIL on a shell account at pair.com?

Cheers,

- Michal
