ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .VA_COPY <-- Can anyone tell me how to fix this????

[Kenneth Klein]

"to the top of the file" <-- which file are you referring to? Makefile?

The systems I am working on all run AIX 5.3. I do have Linux (SLES) 
running on one partition in one of our 3 p570's, but the AIX LPARs are 
the ones I want to monitor.
