RE:


Dave,

You left out a pretty relevant piece of information: the command used to
invoke the compiler. If your source is in a file called hello.cc (or
hello.ccp or hello.cxx), then you can compile your source below with the
line

g++ hello.cc -o hello

I suspect that you used "gcc hello.cc -o hello". By default, gcc does not
link in the C++ runtime library. You could use gcc if you want to manually
specify the C++ runtime:

gcc hello.cc -o hello -lstdc++

Hope that helps,

Rick
