Can't compile plugins - undefined reference to `getloadavg'

[Voon, Ton]

David,

Couple of things to try:
- can you send the configure output and the config.log file
- what version of gcc?
- create a little c file called t.c:
char getloadavg();

int main() {
getloadavg()
; return 0; }

and run:
gcc -c t.c
gcc t.o lib/libnagiosplug.a

Do you still get the getloadavg missing?
- try: "gcc t.o lib/getloadavg.o". If this works, it suggests the ar file is
not being created correctly
- download GNU fileutils package which contains getloadavg:
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/fileutils/fileutils-4.1.tar.gz. With their compiled
version of getloadavg.o, can gcc work against that?
