Thanks for all of your replies.  I found my mistake.

I should have included <dirent.h>, but was including <sys/dirent.h>.
By including the latter header file opendir/readdir/closedir were
symbols with implied C linkage.  However, I was using g++, and so
needed these symbols with C++ linkage.  Since dirent.h is, in effect,

extern "C" {

#include <sys/dirent.h>

}

when using g++, <dirent.h> was the correct header file to include.

Here might be a problem, you link in libc before motif, X11 & co,
normally gcc doesn't look back when seatching for symbols, and if the
library is loaded once it doesn't do it again, so if Xm, Xt, SM, ICE,
X11 want to access functions in libc they can't because libC is
already processed...

So either move the -lc to the end of the line, or omit it as suggested
before, because it is handled automagically.

If the problem persists try throwin -v or -V on gcc when linking,
might give you some hints..

*sniff* *sniff* is this X11/Motif or whatever file?
