Try the gcc3 p4api:

ftp://ftp.perforce.com/perforce/r05.1/bin.linux3x86/ (or equivalent folder in a later release)

Can you install gcc3?

I haven't seen this issue on this list, so I'll present it.

I'm trying to start up P4Ruby on a Fedora Core 4 32-bit x86. It would seem like a very common situation, so I'm surprised that I can't get it to work after it builds and links correctly, but it gives me this error message when I try to run the little example:

[bradfordh at bradfordh2 P4Ruby-1.4841]$ ruby example.rb /usr/lib/site_ruby/1.8/i386-linux/P4.so: /usr/lib/site_ruby/1.8/i386-linux/P4.so: undefined symbol: _Znwj - /usr/lib/site_ruby/1.8/i386-linux/P4.so (LoadError) from /usr/lib/site_ruby/1.8/P4.rb:112 from example.rb:2

I build the samplemain.cc in the p4api set and it builds correctly and works, so I figure this has to have something to do with I'm building the P4Ruby stuff. Notably, Fedora Core 4 as I have it is using gcc 4, and notes I have seen don't show anyplace a gcc 4-compiled p4api can be found, so that may be the issue. Can anybody point out anything that may lead me toward success here?
