    linker error

    Zerg,

    This is a linker error from the cc compiler/linker under Unix or from the GNU-compiler/linker under Unix/Linux. The linker is unable to find some symbol which could be either a subroutine or a variable. This is a fatal error for the linker as opposed to a simple warning. The linker can not proceed any further after a fatal error and the build will be stopped.

    Sincerely, Chris.

    P.S. Which development environment are you using? GNU, cc under Unix...

    You're gonna go blind staring into that box all day.

    To add to the answer already here, it means that your linker
    didn't find a symbol that it needs. All symbols are either in object
    files or libraries. Thus, you need to link your exe with the object
    file or library that contains the symbol the linker can't find.
