undefined reference, even when the linked library does exist

I'm trying to compile VTK from source and I received the following error. I'm running Fedora 27, kernel version 4.14.11-300.fc27.x86_64 /usr/lib64/libSM.so: undefined reference to `uuid_generate@UUID_1.0' /usr/lib64/libSM.so: undefined reference to `uuid_unparse_lower@UUID_1.0' ldd /usr/lib64/libSM.so shows $ldd /usr/lib64/libSM.so linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffd4998b000) libICE.so.6 => /lib64/libICE.so.6 (0x00007f3aa36ff000) libuuid.so.1 => /lib64/libuuid.so.1 (0x00007f3aa34fa000) libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007f3aa3115000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f3aa3b23000) Further looking at the symbols in libuuid.so.1 shows $objdump -T /lib64/libuuid.so.1 | grep 'uuid_generate$' 0000000000002370 g DF .text 0000000000000087 UUID_1.0 uuid_generate $objdump -T /lib64/libuuid.so.1 | grep 'uuid_unparse_lower' 0000000000002710 g DF .text 0000000000000002 UUID_1.0 uuid_unparse_lower The output of ldconfig is $sudo ldconfig -p | grep libuuid libuuid.so.1 (libc6,x86-64) => /lib64/libuuid.so.1 libuuid.so.1 (libc6) => /lib/libuuid.so.1 $ sudo ldconfig -p | grep libSM libSM.so.6 (libc6,x86-64) => /lib64/libSM.so.6 libSM.so.6 (libc6) => /lib/libSM.so.6 libSM.so (libc6,x86-64) => /lib64/libSM.so I'm not sure, what is going on here. Can someone please help? Thank you Senthil
