gplc link errors

[Chris Nettleton]

* The type of machine you are using (use uname -a under Unix).

Linux ccfn 2.6.9-5.EL #1 Wed Jan 5 19:22:18 EST 2005 i686 i686 i386 
GNU/Linux

(This is RedHat 4 running on PC)


* GNU $ gprolog --version

Prolog top-Level (GNU Prolog) 1.2.16
By Daniel Diaz
Prolog version (use gprolog --version).



* The operands given to the `configure' and the output of the 
configuration if the bug concerns the compilation/installation phase.

Unknown, downloaded binary from web site.


* The complete text of any files needed to reproduce the bug. Try to 
obtain a minimal example showing the bug.

$ more hello.pl
hello :-
   putstr("Hello world").

putstr([]).
putstr([C|CS]) :-
   put(C),
   putstr(CS).



* The precise commands we need to type to reproduce the bug.

$ gplc hello.pl


* A description of what behavior you observe that you believe is incorrect.

$ gplc hello.pl
/usr/lib/gprolog-1.2.16/lib/libbips_pl.a(atom_c.o)(.text+0x1136): In 
function `Lower_Upper_2':
: undefined reference to `__ctype_toupper'
/usr/lib/gprolog-1.2.16/lib/libbips_pl.a(atom_c.o)(.text+0x1177): In

.... etc


* If you wish to mention something in the GNU Prolog source, show the 
line of code with a few lines of context.  Do not just give a line number.


Runs OK on gprolog. There seems to be an incompatibility between the 
include file used to build the prolog libraries and the libraries in RHEL 4.

$ rpm -q glibc
glibc-2.3.4-2
