Hi,

 I have looked through a few FAQs and asked "resident experts", but I
have not been able to solve this problem:

I am trying to compile some C software for a project I am working on.
It consists of a mix of *.a libraries, objects, and c src.  I don't
have access to the src that was used to create some of the libraries.
I am using gcc version 2.6.3 to compile on a Sparc10 running SunOS
version 4.1.3.  The c src compiles OK, but when ld tries to do the
linking, I get

ld: Undefined symbol 
   _fgetpos 
   _fsetpos 

These are functions that appear in my ANSI C book, and they also
appear in the gnu "stdio.h", but I can't find the symbols in any of
the *.a libraries on our system (I looked using 'nm *.a | grep ...').
It appears that these 2 functions are called from within the
other libraries in the project for which I have no source code, so I
can't just use different functions like "ftell" and "fseek".

Has anyone ever run into this problem?  The only solutions I can think of
are (1) to locate libraries that DO have these symbols, or (2) to
write dummy fgetpos and fsetpos functions that actually use fseek and
ftell to do the work, and link these.  (I would have to make intelligent
guesses at the prototypes then.)

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.
