What happens when the program does not work as you expect? In general you can only catch an exception thrown by a shared library if you are using a shared libgcc or if you are using a linker which supports the --eh-frame-hdr option. So first confirm that one or the other is the case. Use ldd to see whether you are linking against a shared libgcc (named libgccc_s). Use -v when linking to see whether gcc pases --eh-frame-hdr to the linker. Ian
