'Symbol referencing error' while compiling

[aeo3]

fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to a.out
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [compile] Error 1
This problem appears when i am trying to make an application, but i don't know how to solve it i think it related to library path.

As this was posted in the Articles section, I have moved it to the forum. In the future, please post your questions here.

Also, look at this, as it requests you not double/triple post, use good thread titles, post in the forums section, etc... and explains the consequences for not following the rules. Thanks!

Collect2 is the actual linker doing all the hard work; ld is just the front end. Are
you sure no other error diagnostics are printed before that "fatal" message?

If all else fails, make a "clean build", i.e. throw away your .o and (optionally) .a
files as well as your (also optional) .so files and build again. Only do this if all
else fails. First check what collect2 really tried to tell you.

kind regards,

Jos

there is an error message before:
undefined first reference
symbol in file
prng_new /var/tmp/CC3q8e95.0
I am trying to delete all *.o by using
clean:
rm *.o *.dta
but the same message appears
