Hi,


this also a problem of mine and IMHO it is a problem of the CUPS=20
compilation/linking. I reported to CUPS (see=20
http://www.cups.org/newsgroups.php?Gcups.bugs+U407+D+O96+VR) but so far =
I got=20
no good explanation.

In fact the main-symbol seems to be linked-in in the libcups.so.2.

Maybe it has something to do with my binutils version I used (2.11.2 -=20
Trolltech mentions a linker bug in that version fo Solaris 2.6), maybe=20
something else goes wrong.

I'm no compiler/linker expert but having closer look to the linking =
statement=20
and the gcc manpage, I found a statement telling, that it is "sugested" =
to=20
use the flags -symbolic or -shared instead of -G (this one is used =
linking=20
the CUPS lib(s)). After configure I patched the root Makedefs and =
replaced -G=20
by -shared in the DSOFLAGS section. Now the library no longer contains =
the=20
main-symbol and e.g. KMail no longer complains printing with CUPS. =
Printing a=20
mail worked, too, but this is no complete test ...

But as I said, I'm no expoert in those things. Would be nice if =
somebody could=20
check/tell about consequences doing so ...
