[gate-users] Re: Compilation problem

[Long Zhang]

Dear Manuel, Fernando, Aurelien,

It is OK that ranlib says "has no symbol". There is no symbol in those
object files. Use "nm -s" to list the symbol in a object file. Mac OS
may support this command since it is a UNIX like operation system.

Hope this helps :-)

Long
