I've been trying to compile Ghostscript (version 2.61) and it's getting close.
Looks like it's almost done, but can't quite finish it.  Usually gcc has
been well behaved, but there have been a few programs (like Ghostscript)
which won't link because they get this error.  Since it's not just with
Ghostscript I thought I'd ask here:

What did I do wrong in my gcc install?  I even went back, got a clean copy
of the gcc sources and went through the whole install again, just to make sure
I hadn't screwed up my stuff somehow.  I don't know what __lib_version is
for and grep can only find it in the (non-functional) gs which gets produced.

The tail-end of the output from make looks like:

./echogs -n - gcc -Bstatic -lXmu -Bdynamic -I.   -o gs gs.o gsmain.o [...]
[ previous line truncated removing lots of object names.]
./echogs -x 205c >>_temp_
cat ld.tr >>_temp_
./echogs -  -lm >>_temp_
/bin/sh <_temp_
ld: Undefined symbol 
   __lib_version 
collect: /usr/bin/ld returned 2 exit status
gcc: file path prefix `dynamic' never used
gcc: file path prefix `static' never used
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `gs'


Which I hope means something to somebody.  Will some-one please tell me
what I've done wrong?

Thanks.
