It might be helpful to look at what files the multiple definitions are
reported as coming from, and see what it is that it's complaining
about. Is it possible some functions are defined multiple times?
Something else that often bites people is trying to put something like:
int foo = 42;
in a header. This is a definition of the variable, and it can only have
one definition. The correct way is to put the initialized definition in
one source file, and only a declaration (`extern int foo;') in the
header.
