[tex-k] compile error of ptex with new libkpathsea 2009

[Norbert Preining]

Hi Karl, hi all,

can someone help us with getting ptex compile with the new libkpathsea5
from TeX Live 2009?

There are some undefined references I don't udnerstand because they
seem all to be defined in kpathsea/types.h, but somehow not exported
(but I am a complete ignorant in these things):
