Program won't compile anymore - c++

Question

I'm current working on a C++ that I edit locally on my Mac but run on an Ubuntu server. I always make sure that the code compiles on my mac before uploading it to the server to compile it there, where I have to use a makefile to link with libraries that are installed in my local directory. Basically, I had edited a significant portion of my code, found that it compiled on my mac, and uploaded it to the server to compile, but it doesn't compile! Luckily, I had a backup version of the code, so I tried that on the server, and that won't compile anymore either! In between the last time I knew that my code compiled on the server and now, I know that they ran some updates, but that's all I can think of that's different. For reference, here's my make file:
LOCAL_INCLUDE = /home/schraiber/.local/include
LOCAL_LIB = /home/schraiber/.local/lib
CXXFLAGS = -I$(LOCAL_INCLUDE)
CXX_LDFLAGS = -L$(LOCAL_LIB) -lgsl -lm -lgslcblas -lpthread

and the error:

and just to verify that gsl is installed in the local directory:
schraiber#trump:~/test_rsync$ ls ~/.local/lib
libbpp-core.a libbpp-core.so.2.0.0 libbpp-seq.so.9 libgslcblas.a libgslcblas.so.0 libgsl.so pkgconfig

libbpp-core.so.2 libbpp-seq.so libgsl.a libgslcblas.so libgsl.la libgsl.so.0.16.0
schraiber#trump:~/test_rsync$ ls ~/.local/include/
Bpp gsl
An interesting thing to note is that my program is also supposed to link with Bpp, and it does that just fine as far as I can tell.

Answer 1

Your "-lfoo" parameters should come last on your "g++" command line. So, for example, make this change in your makefile:
CoalHMMgf: main.o IOUtilities.o parameters.o Algorithms.o Optimization.o probabilities.o RNGUtilities.o Data.o ThreadData.h
g++ $(CXXFLAGS) main.o IOUtilities.o parameters.o Algorithms.o Optimization.o probabilities.o RNGUtilities.o Data.o -o CoalHMMgf $(CXX_LDFLAGS)

Answer 2

Libraries have to be defined on the link line such that the library containing no other references is the very last one. Libraries that depend on code from a second library need to be listed first. They must be listed after the .o files, or else the .o files are assumed to be self-contained and don't need the libraries.
