Yes I compiled plib with -fPIC so I don't think its the issue either.

Ok, now the output is as you said 
nm libtgf.so | grep XML_ParserCreate
                 U XML_ParserCreate

Yeah, I agree that with Windows I would have had less trouble but I was told 
by my supervisor to do this in Linux. To be honest I have learned alot 
despite all the issues I have!

Also a poster below suggested that I run "ldd torcs-bin". It couldn't find 
some libraries like libtgf.so and libtgfclient.so all of them in the 
/usr/local/lib/torcs/lib directory so I added them to LD_LIBRARY_PATH. 
Unfortunately I still get the same error.

Again I thank you for your time and effort in helping me!
