Linker Error causing problems

/home/crbt/AUT/SVN/version1.1/Code/poly6.3/linux/i386/gcc/lib/libpat.a(polymem.o): In function `poly_memory_init':

I fail to understand the reason behind the linker errors. I navigated to the path mentioned above and found the libpat.a file to be intact.

The error means that the linked modules are missing a definition of the named items FastNew(unsigned int), etc. That is, some code references the item, but there is no implementation of it.

This could have several classes of cause:

• a library is missing from the link
• a module is compiled incorrectly: mismatched options, #defines, or C vs. C++
• a module is mistakenly linked which should not have been

From the types of modules referenced, I think the cause is likely the first one. Look for a memory management library which should be included.
