Bruce,

It would be helpful if you posted the linker line that produced this
error message as well. This is a common type of error you'll see when
the linker is not linking your C++ objects against libstdc++.so.

My guess would be that the linker is being called through gcc instead of
g++, the latter of which would add libstdc++ to the linker (ld) command
line.

OK.  Here is the previous line(s) that cause grief.


gcc -c  -I. -I.. -I../liboctave -I../src -I../libcruft/misc  -DHAVE_CONFIG_H  -Wall -W -Wshadow -g -O2 main.c -o main.o

Thanks for everyone's help so far...
