fpSpreadSheet 1.7 error while linking my project

procedure TsSpreadBIFF2Reader.ReadFormat(AStream: TStream);
var
  len: byte;
  fmtString: AnsiString;
  nfs: String;
begin
  // number format string
  len := AStream.ReadByte;
  SetLength(fmtString, len);
  AStream.ReadBuffer(fmtString[1], len);

  // We need the format string as utf8 and non-localized
  nfs := ConvertEncoding(fmtString, FCodePage, EncodingUTF8, False); 
 <- error !!!

  // Add to the end of the list.
  NumFormatList.Add(nfs);
end;   

The error message is : .../lib/i386-linux/xlsbiff2.o: In function
`READLABEL':
xlsbiff2.pas(630,1) Error: undefined reference to `LCONVENCODING_$$_CO
NVERTENCODING$ANSISTRING$ANSISTRING$ANSISTRING$$ANSISTRING'
.../lib/i386-linux/xlsbiff2.o: In function `READFORMAT':

Urgent ! Today I updated the old work !   I'm miss some unit from uses
section ? 

Thanks !

XUbuntu 15.04 i386, Lazarus 1.5 today svn, FPC 3.1.1 todey svn,

Updated Laz and fpc to the latest svn versions --> no compilation
error for fpspreadsheet. Did you rebuild fpc and Laz after updating?

P.S. There is one word which I don't like to see in forum posts and
bug reports: "Urgent"...

Sorry for the "urgent", I mean, you can not build my project until it
is fixed ...

Yes I rebuild FPC and Lazarus, and re-installed the fpSpreadSheet
package.

Compiler carried out this work - there is no error, the linker is
causing the problem, and therefore I assume is missing a unit.

"ConvertEncoding" is in unit "lConvEncoding".

I wonder why the compiler is touching fpspreadsheet at all. Does your
project contain laz_fpspreadsheet as a requirement, or do you have the
fpspreadsheet files in the search path of your project? The latter
case is not recommended, you should at least have package LazUtils as
a requirement in your project to find the lConvEncoding.

I have laz_fpspreadsheet_visual, laz_fpspreadsheetsxport_visual and
laz_fpspreadsheet as a project requirement, no paths is defined,
also added LazUtils to requirement, but same error is shown.

I solved the problem!

I deleted all the files in the project directory ../lib/i386-linux/
it seems the problem was caused by compiler version conflicts

Thank you for trying to help !
