'main' multiply defined

Question

Folks
Almost afraid to post this, as the solution is probably in front of my nose, but...
Just downloaded the XML Parser for C v2 for Solaris. Trying to compile the SAXSample, but getting the following errors when linking:
SunOS/u/esp/ruvoloj/xml/sample: make -f Makefile SAXSample
cc -o SAXSample -I../include -L../lib -lcore8 -lnls8 -lcore8 -lnls8 -lcore8 -lm
SAXSample.c
ld: fatal: symbol `main' is multiply defined:
(file ../lib/libcore8.a(xpath.o) and file SAXSample.o);
ld: fatal: symbol `__fsr_init_value' is multiply defined:
(file ../lib/libcore8.a(xpath.o) and file SAXSample.o);
ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to SAXSample
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `SAXSample'
SunOS/u/esp/ruvoloj/xml/sample:
I'm currently on Solaris 2.6. I have both a 7.3 and 8.1 database to work with, but get the errors no matter which one LD_LIBRARY_PATH points to.
What am I missing?

My problem seemed to be the the Makefile supplied. It contained source:target entries of the form:
SAXSample: SAXSample.c
$(CC) -o SAXSample $(INCLUDE) $< $(LIB)
but the $< macro wasn't working as expected. When changed to $@, all compiled without a hitch.
SAXSample: SAXSample.c
$(CC) -o $@ $(INCLUDE) [email protected] $(LIB)
