Thanx a lot Matt!

This seems to be the right way. I changed the line to "Function ibfind(name
: PChar) : LongInt; cdecl; external ´gpiblib.a´  ". The "undefined" error don´t
appear annylonger. But now i get a lot of other errors like
"/usr/src/linux-gpib/lib/ibFind.c(36) Error: undefined reference to `getenv' ".
I think i have to set a path varable or something like that. Or must all the *.c
files in the same directory with my program (but i think this could not be the
answer)?
Any suggestions?
