I agree with Robert, it looks like you are trying to link against two different versions of libA at the same time; for me this just spells problems. In order...

Hi David! You make an excellent point! In a 1999 paper written by Ralph Cabrera, Steve Berczuk, and myself, we describe a pattern named "Shared Source...
