Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Darko Veberic (darko-veberic-kit)]

this problem arises since the automake buildsystem is wrongly placing -lImlib2 in front of the *.o files so that the resulting shared library gkhdplop.so ends up without the imlib_image_draw_pixel symbol satisfied...

manually, just move all -L and -l gcc options for the gkhdplop.so target to the end of the command line. for me the resulting gkhdplop.so works fine with gkrellm...

I have the same problem and I don't understand where shall I find and move those options? In the makefile before compiling it?

[Surak (smkozasa)]

I can confirm this happens to me with Kubuntu 13.04, since Kubuntu 12.04 (or maybe before?). I don't compile since 20 years ago, so I'd appreciate if someone could explain how to implement Darko's solution in comment #2. Thanks.

Here is a manual workaround for Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS (I think this is good for the other versions, too):

After you've run ./configure, search for this in Makefile:
gkhdplop.so$(EXEEXT): $(gkhdplop_so_OBJECTS) $(gkhdplop_so_DEPENDENCIES)
        @rm -f gkhdplop.so$(EXEEXT)
        $(LINK) $(gkhdplop_so_LDFLAGS) $(gkhdplop_so_OBJECTS) $(gkhdplop_so_LDADD) $(LIBS)

Change this:
$(LINK) $(gkhdplop_so_LDFLAGS) $(gkhdplop_so_OBJECTS) $(gkhdplop_so_LDADD) $(LIBS)
to this:
$(LINK) $(gkhdplop_so_OBJECTS) $(gkhdplop_so_LDADD) $(LIBS) $(gkhdplop_so_LDFLAGS)

And run make.

Still an issue on Xubuntu Trusty.
