fatal: unknown file type

[Vijayprasad Srinivasan - NPD, Chennai]

Hi All,

Following is the final linking command seen in the console:
 
 g++ -shared -Wl,-hlibpegcommon.so  -Xlinker -rpath -Xlinker
/export/home/pegasus_home/lib   
-L/export/home/pegasus_home/lib -o
/export/home/pegasus_home/lib/libpegcommon.so
/export/home/pegasus_home/obj/Pegasus/Common/AnonymousPipe.o
/export/home/pegasus_home/obj/Pegasus/Common/Array.o
/export/home/pegasus_home/obj/Pegasus/Common/AsyncOpNode.o
/export/home/pegasus_home/obj/Pegasus/Common/AuthenticationInfoRep.o
/export/home/pegasus_home/obj/Pegasus/Common/AutoStreamer.o 
ld: fatal: file /export/home/venkatnn/pegasus_home/lib: unknown file type
ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to
/export/home/venkatnn/pegasus_home/lib/libpegcommon.so
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [/export/home/venkatnn/pegasus_home/lib/libpegcommon.so] Error 1

my make file consists of link arguments as 
LINK_ARGUMENTS = -Wl,-hlib$(LIBRARY)$(LIB_SUFFIX)  -Xlinker -rpath -Xlinker
$(LIB_DIR) $(EXTRA_LINK_ARGUMENTS)

LIB_DIR points to LD_LIBRARY_PATH
EXTRA_LINK_ARGUMENTS to add any extra includes of libraries.

Hi Vijayprasad,

> ld: fatal: file /export/home/pegasus_home/lib: unknown file type

The link editor was passed an argument which was not a library.

I guess a "-L" prefix was missed in front of
/export/home/pegasus_home/lib.

Perhaps you can post the final linking command?
