Re: Trouble with create_cairo_context

["Mark Tilford" <ralphmerridew gmail com>]

Anybody ever figure out what caused this problem?  I can't get the
clock example to work:

~/src/gtk/clock$ g++ `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtkmm-2.4`
`pkg-config --cflags --libs cairomm-1.0` -g clock.cc main.cc
~/src/gtk/clock$ ./a.out
./a.out: symbol lookup error: ./a.out: undefined symbol:
_ZN3Gdk8Drawable20create_cairo_contextEv
