Correctomundo, it's a linkage problem. Either the library isn't really being linked in (or was built wrong and doesn't have those symbols), or the symbol the application wants is somehow different from the one exported by the library. I had to look it up: Dev-C++ is a MinGW front-end. If one side or the other were compiled as C++, the symbols wouldn't match because of mangling. You want to use the GNU binutils to see what's what, and look closely at the command line (I assume is) generated by Dev-C++. Make sure 1) it's compiling as C, not C++, and 2) that libsybdb is really being linked in. HTH. --jkl
