	Ok - nasty. I hope you did a './g pull -r' in the top-level and that
all your modules were updated fully ? (ie. no failures) ? if not you
need to get a consistent state by doing that. If you have changes you
may need to 'git stash' them first, check 'git diff'.

	So - I use '.g grep ConfigITem'

	That is unfortunate, particularly since my from-clean build works.

	It looks like you did the right things, perhaps your checkout is
not-in-sync ? is it possible your shell environment is old and/or
belongs to another version of LibreOffice ?

	Failing that, I tend to dig around with tools like
'objdump -T' (on shared libraries) to work out who exports those
symbols, grep the installed LibreOffice to look at what it is doing etc.
with enough hunting, it should be possible to unwind what went wrong.

	My libutl has this symbol:

$ objdump -T lib/libutlli.so | grep _ZN3utl10ConfigItemC2ERKN3rtl8OUStringEs
00047e7a g    DF .text	00000130  Base        _ZN3utl10ConfigItemC2ERKN3rtl8OUStringEs

	Does yours ?

	HTH,

		Michael.
