Re: undefined reference to `FCGX_GetParam'

Thank you for your answer. 

I am still trying to run fcgi on my Ubuntu server 8.04 lts hardy heron. 

I performed the following steps: 
1. I reinstalled the system. This has removed any problems created by me trying to compile the kit. 
2. I installed the packages: 
apache2
libapache2-mod-fastcgi
libfcgi-dev
libfcgi0ldbl (libfcgi-dev depends on this one) 

I could not find the packages: 
libfcgi
libfcgi0
libfcgi0c2

I used this page: 
http://packages.ubuntu.com/
to search for libfcgi0 in any distribution and it is obvious that it was included after Hardy. 

Now I tried to compile this program: 
    #include "fcgi_stdio.h"
    #include <stdlib.h>

    void main(void)
    {
        int count = 0;
        while(FCGI_Accept() >= 0)
            printf("Content-type: text/html\r\n"
                   "\r\n"
                   "<title>FastCGI Hello!</title>"
                   "<h1>FastCGI Hello!</h1>"
                   "Request number %d running on host <i>%s</i>\n",
                    ++count, getenv("SERVER_NAME"));
    }
from this page: 
http://www.fastcgi.com/devkit/doc/fcgi-devel-kit.htm
using: 
gcc count.c
and I got the same errors: 
count.c:(.text+0x3d): undefined reference to `FCGI_printf'
count.c:(.text+0x42): undefined reference to `FCGI_Accept'
This is all that I need, to get this program running. However, the problem seems way over my head. Currently I am using a "pseudo" fast cgi, a small program that loads fast and communicates with the big process that stays in the memory. If you have any suggestions, please shoot. 

Other metaphysical problems that bother me are: 
1. I am writing an application which requires the same process to be accessed by all incoming requests. Is this supposed to be configured inside the web server configuration files? Is this the default configuration in my Ubuntu? 
2. I need to read get parameters for every request. Are they every time in their place, accessible through getenv, as it is shown in the example above? 

Thank you for your time, 
Doru
