dlopen() & undefined symbol

[Manuel Maria Diaz Gomez]

Hi Everybody,

maybe you can give me a hint about this.

I implemented a simple singleton Factory that will (among other things) keep
a registry of objects.
Objects register themself in the factory in the following way:

static MyObject myInstance;

/*-------------------------------------------------*/
MyObject::MyObj ect()
/*-------------------------------------------------*/
{
MyFactory::Inst ance()->Register("MyOb ject", this);

}

I created two separated dynamic libs, one for the factory, and one for my
test class, and when trying to load the last one
(i.e: void* handledll = dlopen("libMyOb ject.so", RTLD_NOW), after the
factory one has been open, I get an undefined symbol error :

libMyObject.so: undefined symbol: _ZN16MyFactory8 InstanceEv
any ideas?
Regards

Manuel

Try asking in a Windows newsgroup, and please, give them more
context than you did here. Can you figure out what is going
on from the little bit of information you posted?

I think a Unix or Linux group is more likely

news:comp.unix. programmer for instance.
