Hi Tom,

I think Rob is right.
If you don't solve it with Rob's suggestion, try these:

http://www.toren.com/radiance/dxfimport_so_tom.h
http://www.toren.com/radiance/dxfimport_so_tom.cpp

Also you should use g++ instead of gcc, sorry for that, like this:

# g++ -o tom dxfimport_so_tom.cpp

And to test it:
# ./tom

Good luck,

Iebele
