Re: link error - xunlink unsatisfied

When I link my program using the command:

Does anyone know why this is happening?

I'm not a compiler guy but I think I've seen enough of their responses
to take a stab at it.

First, IIRC system libraries should be at the end of the links, so the
-lpthread should be at the end, not the beginning.

Second, the message means that something - either in fe, mylib or
those things on which they depend is tryng to reference a routine
called xunlink and the linker is not able to resolve that reference
for them.

So, for now, first fix-up the link-order. If the problem persists,
find who is trying to call xunlink and work from there.
