There are different versions of the AX.25 tools that go with
different versions of the kernel.  They are also installed in
different locations on some machines.  I don't know whether you
have a version mismatch between your kernel and your AX.25
libraries/headers, whether you're just missing a few files and need
to install them, or whether something else is wrong.

I looked around a bit and it looks like you also need this package:

    libax25-dev

Perhaps that is the problem?  That should give you some more files.

Any *.a file is a static library.  *.so is a shared library.  You
probably only want the *.so libraries in this case, but for my
purposes I could examine either library to determine whether the
function was in there.  I didn't mean to confuse the matter.  I
should have searched the *.so file instead, as that's what the test
compile was trying to use, and what Xastir will link against when
you're all done.
