  Hi all,
  I am kinda new to C programming so bare with me if this is a basic question.
  I am trying to compile the examples that come with expat (version 1.95.6) under Solaris 2.7 and cant't them to compile.
  I have successfully installed the package (using configure --prefix=/home/phiril/xml/expat/expat-1.95.6/install/, make and make install).

  When I use the makefile that comes with expat I get the following:

  make examples/outline 
  /bin/ksh ./libtool --silent --mode=link gcc -g -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wstrict-prototypes -fexceptions   -I./lib -I.  -o examples/outline  libexpat.la 
  Undefined               first referenced 
   symbol                     in file 
  main                                /opt/corp/contrib/gcc-2.95.2/sw/sparc-solaris2.6/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.6/2.95.2/crt1.o 
  ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to examples/.libs/outline 
  collect2: ld returned 1 exit status 
  *** Error code 1 
  make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `examples/outline' 


  I tried compiling this directly:

   gcc -I/home/phiril/xml/expat/expat-1.95.6/install/include 
   -L/home/phiril/expat/expat-1.95.6/install/lib outline.c -v

  What am I missing?
