Everything is built from source on a Gentoo box. In this case, the final step 
in compilation is this:

strip: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-strip --strip-unneeded -R .comment -R 
.GCC.command.line -R .note.gnu.gold-version
   usr/lib64/gkrellm2/plugins/gkrellfire.so
>>> Done.

For comparison, the same stage in compiling gkrellsun is:

strip: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-strip --strip-unneeded -R .comment -R 
.GCC.command.line -R .note.gnu.gold-version
   usr/lib64/gkrellm2/plugins/gkrellsun.so
>>> Done.

I can't see any difference.

/usr/lib64/gkrellm2/plugins/gkrellfire.so:     file format elf64-x86-64

SYMBOL TABLE:
no symbols

I see the same with gkrellsun.

Gkrellsun and my other three plugins work just fine.

OK, thanks.

Does anyone else have gkrellfire running properly?
