Sounds strange, but if there would be a nameclash, the linker should 
tell you ;)

Please, attach the output of your build process.
What release  of ORBit2 are you using.
Are you using pre-compiled binaries of ORBit2?
What platform are you using?

I observed the same effect once with some third party code that had been 
compiled with -O3 option (highly optimized).  If this is the case, 
compile the image-library again using -O2 option for gcc and try again.
