3618.0. "A1 RELINK PROBLEMS - MULTIPLE SYMBOL DEFS" by FLEX7::ALLINGHAM_PD (Permenantly Peaking!) Thu Dec 02 1993 11:13

    We have a problem relinking ALL-IN-1 on a machine we have just upgraded
    from VMS 5.4-2 to VMS 5.4-3.
    
    We have a product integrated into ALL-IN-1 called SRA, whose modules
    are defined in SITELINK30.COM (See Below).  When we relink we get a lot
    of 'multiply defined' symbol messages.  However the image does relink
    and appears to work. However, I don't feel very comfortable about this!
    
    Does the 'multiply defined' message mean that the symbols are included
    OK and that we shouldn't worry or should we be concerned?
    
    Any input gratefully received!

    the same...)

    Peter,
    
    STARS article entitled 
    Relink Of ALL-IN-1 Fails With 'Multiply defined symbols for FORRTL.EXE'
    
    basically it says
    
    Edit the ALL-IN-1 link command procedure OA$BUILD:A1LINK.COM and  
    comment out the 2 calls to FORRTL. Once this is complete future
    attemtps to relink ALL-IN-1 should no longer fail with these errors.
    
    P.S remember SRA is no longer supported!   
    
    P.P.S I Picked this note at random of the many hundreds of unseen notes I 
          have so please all be patient and i'll try and catch up
    
    Regards,

    I was involved in setting up an ALL-IN-1 system with SRA for FOP and I
    seem to remember you need do a  $ A1$DEFER == "1" (or maybe 0) prior to
    the relink. Its in the SRA installation guide somewhere ...
    
    Hope this helps,
