I ended up searching /usr/lib for __gxx_personality_v0 to find libstdc++.a which so happened to define the reference. Where do I find documentation that will tell me how to get started doing a compile in this situation? Also what is this 'personality' type of name the linker needs? You shouldn't have to specify any of that kind of junk. It should just work. But you didn't include the exact command(s) you used to compile and link and without that info it's pretty hard to assist you. The kind of error that you're seeing is often caused by trying to link by calling 'ld' directly instead of using the 'gcc' command, or trying to link C++ code by calling 'gcc' instead of 'g++'. You should always link with 'gcc', unless you have any C++ code in which case you should compile and link with 'g++'. By doing this the necessary internal library bits will always be added automatically. Brian
