No.  It has to do with the new "dispatcher" which supports 
plugins.  It is experimental code.  The "incorrect link order" 
message says that gnucap tried to install a "plugin" but the 
dispatcher is not ready to receive it yet. 

All models, devices, and behavioral functions can be plugins, 
even simple things like resistors, and the "behavioral 
functions" like the spice style "sin" or "pwl" sources.  In a 
near future version, all of the commands will be set up as 
plugins too, making the core very small.

In this snapshot, all the modules that could be plugins are 
linked in, so you still have a single executable.

To get a working simulator, the easiest thing to do for now is 
to use the stable "0.35" release instead of the development 
snapshot.

To help me .. Tell more about what you have, in particular:

1. The compiler version "g++ --version" if you are using the gnu 
compiler, otherwise what are you using?

2. The actual text spew you get from "configure" and 
from "make", especially the link stage, which is probably the 
last "g++" command, the one that lists all the files.

Thanks for the report.

Fink has nothing to do with it.
