binary package cannot be linked to, locally-rebuilt version works

Ping... To be precise, this is the test program:

 #include "QGLViewer/qglviewer.h"
 int main(){
  QGLViewer(1);
  return 0;
 }

When compiling:

vaclav@falx:/tmp$ g++ qglviewer2-test.cc -lqglviewer -I/usr/share/qt3/include -o qglviewer2-test
/tmp/ccDbd9AJ.o: In function `main':
qglviewer2-test.cc:(.text+0x1d4): undefined reference to `QGLViewer::~QGLViewer()'

I can provide more info as needed. Please recompile that, as sais, it fixes this thing.

I can confirm this. I actually had the same problem and had to compile from the sources again to fix it.

My release:
Linux noname 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Wed Jun 4 16:35:01 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

`lsb_release -a`:
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 8.04
Release: 8.04
Codename: hardy

Aside:
What I think a bit problematic is the renaming of the library from QGLViewer to lower case qglviewer. This should also be corrected in the documentation. Besides: anyone searching for help on the net, would find the original authors page and wonder why it does not find the library. But that's quite a philosophical problem.

It appears the libqglviewer.so.2.2.6 from the binary install does not export any qglviewer symbols.

if you run nm to display the qlviewer symbol entries:
nm -D /usr/lib/libqglviewer.so.2.2.6 | grep -i qglviewer

returns nothing for the version installed from binary package, but contains 694 lines for the from source compilation.
A simple rebuild from source would provide a new lib that can be added to the binary package libqglviewer2.

I believe the bug has been fixed by uploading new releases of qglviewer package. Please confirm if it's ok and bug can be closed.

[Expired for libqglviewer (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.]
