[ODE] Fatal Errors Encountered on Installation

[John DeWeese]

I don't have access to a build right now, but if I remember correctly 
the build process creates a defs file for exporting what stuff is in 
the library, however the defs file is incomplete. So, I added the 
missing functions by hand to the defs, rebuilt so that the names are 
now in the library for export, and all was well.
