C++ Shared Libary Linking Problem

[Ivan_Watkins@tivoli.com]

I have some C++ files that I'm attempting to place into a shared library.
However, the linker is complaining that there are multiple definitions of
my
 class methods.

 ./objects/linux/dependent.o: In function `Sequence::Sequence(void)':
./objects/linux/dependent.o(.text+0x0): multiple definition of
 `Sequence::Sequence(void)'
 ./objects/linux/sequence.o(.text+0x0): first defined here

 ./objects/linux/dependent.o: In function `Sequence::~Sequence(void)':
./objects/linux/dependent.o(.text+0x40): multiple definition of
 `Sequence::~Sequence(void)'
 ./objects/linux/sequence.o(.text+0x40): first defined here

 ./objects/linux/dependent.o: In function `Sequence::grow(void)':
./objects/linux/dependent.o(.text+0x88): multiple definition of
 `Sequence::grow(void)'
 ./objects/linux/sequence.o(.text+0x88): first defined here


 There is only ONE place that I define the methods of the Sequence class
and that is in sequence.o which is created from sequence.cxx and
 sequence.h.

 depedendent.o incudes a header file that defines another C++ class called
GlobalAuth.  GlobalAuth has some data members that are of type
 Sequence "Class".  and that is the connection that dependent.o has to the Sequence class.

 Why am I getting these multiple definition errors when I try to link sequence.o and dependent.o into a single shared library?  Do I need to specify a
 certain compile option when I want to create C++ object modules that will become part of a shared library?
