Cause

The client should specify the shared object (so) instead of archived (a) libezttool library.  (He should specify the libezttool.so instead of the libezttool.a library.

Resolution

The client should specify the shared object (so) instead of archived (a) libezttool library. That means changing "a" here: 

ezt -o /easy/thlib/test/object/TVA119M -I /easy/thlib/test/mac -I /easy/opt/macros /easy/opt/bin/libezttool.a -L /easy/thlib/test/source/TVA119M.ezt > /easy/thlib/etc/log/TVA119M.lst 

... 

to "so": 

... 

ezt -o /easy/thlib/test/object/TVA119M -I /easy/thlib/test/mac -I /easy/opt/macros /easy/opt/bin/libezttool.so -L /easy/thlib/test/source/TVA119M.ezt > /easy/thlib/etc/log/TVA119M.lst 

...

should resolve the problem.
