I hate to say this but I'm still getting a similar error:

gcc hello.o -o hello -lphobos -lpthread -lm
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.2/../../../libphobos.a(gc.o)

Please double check that you put the new libphobos.a in /usr/lib. I double checked it, and the section name is correct in the archive I uploaded. If that doesn't work, try extracting gc.o from /usr/lib/libphobos.a and run dumpobj on it. Look at the section name for d_new.

I too am getting this on my RH 9 (gcc 3.2.2) machine.  I don't get this on my
RH 7.2 (gcc 2.96) machine.



BTW, it's fairly easy to move to new versions if you use symbolic links.  My directory structure looks like this:

/home/russ/d/0.64/<files for version 0.64>
/home/russ/d/0.65/<files for version 0.65>
/home/russ/d/cur -> 0.65
/home/russ/d/dmd -> cur/dmd
/home/russ/d/dm -> cur/dm
/usr/lib/libphobos.a -> /home/russ/d/dmd/lib/libphobos.a
/usr/local/bin/dmd -> /home/russ/d/dmd/bin/dmd
/usr/local/bin/dumpobj -> /home/russ/d/dmd/bin/dumpobj
/usr/local/bin/obj2asm -> /home/russ/d/dmd/bin/obj2asm

When I download 0.66, I will extract it to the /home/russ/d/0.66 directory. Then the only thing I have to change is the 'cur' symbolic link:

cd /home/russ/d
ln -sf 0.66 cur

and then everything...executables, libphobos, etc. is immediately updated.

HINT: don't link /etc/dmd.conf, or you'll lose all your settings when you download a new version of the compiler.

GAHK!  Either the -f switch of the 'ln' command is broken, or I am seriously confused about what it is for.  "ln -sf 0.65 cur" didn't change my link, so I was continuing to use all of the old stuff!

However....on RH 9, I still get the "bad relocation symbol" error.

Just a note, everybody.
    ln -sf 0.66 cur
doesn't seem to work.  I guess I was confused.  Instead, remove the link first:
    rm cur
    ln -s 0.66 cur

Odd....I could have sworn -f would work like that before...

For what symbol?

"Bad relocation section," sorry.  It's the same as I've posted in another thread:



/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2.2/../../../libphobos.a(gc.o): bad relocation section name '.rel.gnu.linkonce.t_d_new? '



I rechecked *again* that this is the right libphobos.a.  It *is* the 0.65 version.

Anybody else here using RH9?

Yes, libphobos.a is indeed in /usr/lib.  I copied the file there instead
of sym linking.  I did run a dumpobj on libphobos.a earlier and couldn't find
any references to that section name.

I imagine extracting and analyzing gc.o would amount to less voluminous searching.  Excuse my ignorance, but how do I extract gc.o from libphobos.a.  Does '.rel.gnu.linkonce.t_d_new?' really exist in there somewhere?
