This is a bug in the Safari 1.0 goodies (specifically the new version
of Foundation framework inside the package), in that a symbol named
_fields should not be being exported. Panther won't have this problem,
but there's little you can do about it on 10.2.6. If you don't use the
symbol _fields from the .a library, there may be a way to use the
'nmedit' command to 'remove' the symbol, though I don't know if that
works on .a files. The strip command might be another possibility.

I've had a frustrating problem with a fatal linking error that has
cropped up since I've installed Safari 1.0, and I'd appreciate any
help I can get. Here's the situation:
I use a library (not a framework) that defines the symbol "_fields" -
which was never a problem until June 23. After installing Safari 1.0
(which installs a new Foundation at
/System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework/Versions/C), my
application fails to build, with the following errors:
ld: multiple definitions of symbol _fields
/System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework/Versions/C/
Foundation(ProjectBuilderMasterObjectFile.o) definition of _fields
./libbtparse.a(bibtex.o) definition of _fields in section
(__TEXT,__text)
My initial response was to go try to edit bibtex.c and just rename the
symbol to avoid the collision. However, that's a generated parser
(made by PCCTS) and it isn't that simple to just change it. Although I
probably can figure out how eventually, I was wondering if anyone
knows of a better solution? It really seems like I shouldn't have to
change my code here.
Thanks,
-Michael
