LinuxQuestions.org - Odd runtime error, undefined symbol: ssh_channel

Hey all,

I'm writing a simple c++ program with libssh (http://www.libssh.org/) that will create an ssh connection with my samba server, and then create a user with an inputted username and password.

My program compiles with no errors or warnings, and it executes the first several functions from the libssh library without any problems; however, when my program tries to execute the ssh_channel_new command, I get the run time error: ./myProgram: symbol lookup error: ./myProgram: undefined symbol: ssh_channel_new

I'm using a makefile generated from QT's qmake, and added -lssh to the LIBS option line.

Here is the code leading up to the error, most of it is copied from the libssh examples, so I really don't know what could be going wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Code:

ssh_session ssh;

  ssh = ssh_new();

  if (ssh == NULL) {

      cout << "ssh session could not be initialized";

      ssh_free(ssh);

      return;

  }

  

  ssh_options_set(ssh, SSH_OPTIONS_HOST, IP);

  ssh_options_set(ssh, SSH_OPTIONS_LOG_VERBOSITY, &verbosity);

  ssh_options_set(ssh, SSH_OPTIONS_PORT, &port);

  ssh_options_set(ssh, SSH_OPTIONS_USER, user);

  

  cout << "Connecting to server..." << endl;

  rc = ssh_connect(ssh);

  if (rc != SSH_OK) {

      cout << "Could not connect to server.";

      ssh_free(ssh);

      return;

  }

  

  if (verify_knownhost(ssh) != 0) {

      cout << "Could not verify known host.";

      ssh_disconnect(ssh);

      ssh_free(ssh);

      return;

  }

  

  rc = ssh_userauth_password(ssh, NULL, adminPass);

  if (rc != SSH_AUTH_SUCCESS) {

      cout << "server admin password not accepted.";

      ssh_disconnect(ssh);

      ssh_free(ssh);

      return;

  }

  

  cout << "Connected." << endl;

  ssh_channel channel;

  

  cout << "Creating ssh channel..." << endl;

  channel = ssh_channel_new(ssh);

  if (channel == NULL) {

      cout << "Could not establish channel.";

      ssh_disconnect(ssh);

      ssh_free(ssh);

      return;

  }
