   Ok ok, I didn't want to argue. The thing I did not understand is that   
   the fault came at linking stage. Thus there is somewhere a header file   
   that define /realpath/ but no lib actually implements it. Can i find   
   those kind of documentation somewhere that gather all functions with   
   there equivalent (just as the one you gave me).   
      
   Thanks a bunch
