Try linking using cc(1) instead of ld(1). If you use ld(1)
directly, you better know what you're doing. Something like:

	cc -v -o ../onmetis.exe onmetis.o io.o smbfactor.o ecri11.o lect11.o lect00.o -lmetis -lm -lg2c

The -v option should also tell you what you need on the ld(1)
line and in what order if you still want or need to use ld(1)
directly.

Another cause can be that ld-elf.so.1 doesn't handle a particular
relocation yet, but fails to abort. This is more tricky to debug
if you don't have root and/or console access to the machine.

HTH,
