Valued Colleagues, I have built and installed gcc-3.3 on RedHat linux 7.2 but I am having problems with the compiler. For several days I have been trying to figure out the cause of the problem but I have not had much success. Below is a small sample program and the compiler error that I get. If someone can give me any pointers as to the cause of the problem, I will be very thankful. best regards ramin -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TEST PROGRAM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- jupiter.goldline.net:/home/rnikaeen/test>more c.cpp #include <iostream> #include <string> using namespace std; int main() { cerr << "Enter your name "; return 0; } -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COMPILER OUTPUT -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- jupiter.goldline.net:/home/rnikaeen/test>gcc c.cpp /tmp/cc5AisQc.o: In function `main': /tmp/cc5AisQc.o(.text+0x1b): undefined reference to `std::cerr' /tmp/cc5AisQc.o(.text+0x20): undefined reference to `std::basic_ostream<char, std::char_traits<char> >& std::operator<< <std::char_traits<char> >(std::basic_ostream<char, std::char_traits<char> >&, char const*)' /tmp/cc5AisQc.o: In function `__static_initialization_and_destruction_0(int, int)': /tmp/cc5AisQc.o(.text+0x49): undefined reference to `std::ios_base::Init::Init[in-charge]()' /tmp/cc5AisQc.o(.text+0x64): undefined reference to `std::ios_base::Init::~Init [in-charge]()' /tmp/cc5AisQc.o(.eh_frame+0x11): undefined reference to `__gxx_personality_v0' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- gcc VERSION -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- jupiter.goldline.net:/home/rnikaeen/test>which gcc /usr/local/bin/gcc jupiter.goldline.net:/home/rnikaeen/test>gcc -v Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3/specs Configured with: ./configure Thread model: posix gcc version 3.3 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RedHat Linux VERSION -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- jupiter.goldline.net:/usr/local/publicVoiceXML/speech_tools-1.2.3>uname -v #1 Thu May 29 08:32:50 EDT 2003 jupiter.goldline.net:/usr/local/publicVoiceXML/speech_tools-1.2.3>uname -a Linux jupiter.goldline.net 2.4.20-18.7 #1 Thu May 29 08:32:50 EDT 2003 i686 unknown jupiter.goldline.net:/usr/local/publicVoiceXML/speech_tools-1.2.3>
