If I could see the link line, I might be able to help. It would be the line
that says LINKING FOR CONDOR.

Technically, we at Condor only support SuSE, Redhat, and Fedora
distributions of Condor. This is due to the high cost of porting Condor
and many varied linux distributions. We predict that Condor will run on
a lot of other linux distros, but sometimes it happens that it can't.

However, for Debian, it has been known to work before, but I would try
the most recent 6.7.x release of Condor for that platform. I would say
to use the dynamic RH9 binaries for this platform.

Thank you.
