A unix linker is supposed to process arguments in order, and bring in argp-ba.o from libargp.a if and only if the symbol argp_program_bug_address (the *only* symbol defined in that file) is referenced in the earlier objects, but *not* defined in the earlier objects. What does your linker command line look like? Order matters, and -largp must be placed after ex3.o. Regards, /Niels -- Niels Möller. PGP-encrypted email is preferred. Keyid C0B98E26.
