For those who care, I thought I'd summarise answers to my mallinfo question of yesterday, and what I came up with.
Frits Daalmans suggested that I try the dmalloc package from non-free. However, when I installed it, there does not appear to be a mallinfo() defined in dmalloc.h. I suspect dmalloc is a pretty heavy duty debugging package, probably overkill for what was needed here, anyway. Robert Stone advised that that the code for mallinfo() was indeed in libc (as I had guessed from grepping the usr/lib directory ...), and was at a loss to explain why it wouldn't link in. After fighting with it this morning, I decided to add "-lc" to my linker flags. To my surprise, it worked! Can someone explain why? I thought libc was always linked in ... Anyway, thanks Frits and Robert. I appreciate the quick help. -- Nathan Norman MidcoNet - 410 South Phillips Avenue - Sioux Falls, SD 57104 Voice: (605) 334-4454 Fax: (605) 335-1173 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP Key ID: 0xA33B86E9 - Public key available at keyservers PGP Key fingerprint: CE03 10AF 3281 1858 9D32 C2AB 936D C472 -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
