Compiling Z3 test examples gives build error - z3

Question

I've compiled Z3 from sources at codeplex. Configuration details:
Operation system Debian 5.0 (Lenny)
GLIBC 2.7
GCC 4.4.3
OpenMP 4.3.4 (package version)
When I try to build the c example I get:
../../lib/libz3.so: undefined reference to `std::ctype<char>::_M_widen_init() const#GLIBCXX_3.4.11'
When I try to build the c++ example I get:
../../lib/libz3.so: undefined reference to `omp_init_nest_lock#OMP_3.0'
../../lib/libz3.so: undefined reference to `omp_unset_nest_lock#OMP_3.0'
../../lib/libz3.so: undefined reference to `omp_set_nest_lock#OMP_3.0'
../../lib/libz3.so: undefined reference to `omp_destroy_nest_lock#OMP_3.0'.
The examples mentioned were downloaded previously from Z3 website. When I build the test_capi example, which comes along with the source code, I get the union of the error messages above.
What is the nature of the problem? Are there any prerequisites for the system for using Z3?
On another Debian 6.0 machine everything goes smoothly.
Thanks in advance.

I'm assuming you are using the official src release or master branch. If that is the case, could you try to compile test_capi using in the test_capi directory?
gcc -o test_capi -I ../lib test_capi.c -L ../bin/external -lz3 -lstdc++ -lgomp
In the command above we are explicitly telling gcc to link with the C++ standard and OMP libraries.
For the c++ example, you just need to include -lgomp, since g++ will link with the C++ standard library by default. You can find other missing dependencies using ldd:
ldd ../bin/external/libz3.o
That being said, I'm working on a new build system for Z3, you can try it by getting the unstable branch from codeplex. Could you give a try? It would be great to have your feedback to make the build to go smoothly in many more platforms.
