Yes, me.  No problem at all.  Actually I was extremely careful testing 
version 1.1 on any platform I could get my hands on before I released it.

FYI: Kernel doesn't matter for such things...

Hmm, this setup should work fine.  Just one more question (check box): 

About *how* many undefined symbols did you get?  
[ ] about 10
[ ] about 100
[ ] about 1000

For me, the link line in your report works just fine.  You obviously have
some linker confusion.  Don't you have a local Linux guru who might help
you out with this stuff?

You could also try a static library only.
