[Aspell-user] Linking problem - multiple definitions

[Sam O'Connor]

I am having linking problems with aspell 0.50.3
If I ./configure --disable-dynamic --enable-static
then I can compile without any problem and
the resulting library works as expected.

However, when I try to compile with dynamic linking,
I get hundreds of lines of errors when linking.
The errors are all related to multiple symbol definitions.

(trimmed message from "libtool -o libspell.la" , full message below)

libaspell-speller-default.a(bitset.o): multiple definition of std::cout
      libaspell-common.a(bitset.o): first defined here

It looks like libaspell-speller-default and libaspell-common
both have a bunch of standard library symbols that conflict.

I am writing to the list to find out if anyone has a simple fix
for this problem, otherwise I will spend some time looking into it  
myself.
