Calpas Calpas,

Presumably you are not linking against the shapelib modules.  You
don't give your compile or link information so I can't propose a
variation but basically you will likely need to include the object
code from shapelib in your link in some fashion.  Perhaps by listing
the paths to shpopen.o, dbfopen.o, safileio.o and perhaps shptree.o.

Looking at how the commandline programs in shapelib are linked in
shapelib/Makefile might give you a hint as to how to do so.

Best regards,
