Use Module which is in a statically-linked object (Fortran)

Dear stackoverflow experts,

I want to create (with FORTRAN) a shared object file, lets say myso.so. In this .so I have one module file, modso.f, and one 'subroutine file', subso.f.

I also have a statically-linked object (in FORTRAN again), lets say mya.a with 3 subroutine files, and 2 module files, moda1.f and moda2.f.

At the linking of myso.so, I include the mya.a, and of course the modso.o, subso.o. In the modso.f and subso.f, I have the USE statement for using the moda1.f and moda2.f modules that are in mya.a.

What's my problem is: When I open (during runtime of main program) the myso.so library (using the command dlopen(myso.so, RTLD_LAZY)), I get this error returning from dlerror(): myso.so: undefined symbol: moda1_

So in other words, it seems that the .so library can't see the modules in the .a library. In compiling and linking phase I didn't get any errors/warnings.

I'm using pgi 10 fortran 90 compiler under Ubundu. The above example works fine in windows (where the .so are .dll and .a are .lib)

Thanks in advanced.

It might be because of linking order:

g++: In what order should static and dynamic libraries be linked?

Linking phase is successfull because symbols are resolved when dynamic library is loaded, not linked.
