Help!! Can you please tell me how to build a shared library...

[Elizabeth Chan <echan at axent dot com>]

Hi,

I've been trying to build a shared library using gcc on an hpux 10.20
system.
I have however been unsuccessfull. can you please shed some lights, I'm
totally lost as to what I should do.  Thanks a million.

This is the error that I get when trying to build a dynamic library. The
library that I'm trying to build is called libjcif.so. 

This is the error  (I did the 2 lines of asterisks (****) down below to
quote the error message)
