I am trying to get QL working on Debian, but failing at the last step. I have downloaded the source, built and installed the library (“make”, “make install”) without any errors, but my application that uses the QuantLib library throws up some linker errors related to a single class (QuantLib::Error):

I’m on Debian 8, amd64, compiled both the library and application with g++-5.

Does anyone have any ideas?

EDIT: Here's the command line:

It is likely that PricingEngine.o is compiled with (default) value of _GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=1, while QuantLib is compiled with _GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=0.

See also example at the end of this answer.
