C++ and ld issues

30 Sep 2001

      Hi,

I am running SuSE 7.2.  I installed Oracle 9i recently and in the process 
needed to upgrade glibc to 2.2.2-53.  Today I was trying to compile some 
C++ programs and noticed some linking errors.  They were strange and seemed 
to be present even in the most basic of programs :

-- PROGRAM
#include <iostream>

int main() {
         cout << "Hello World\n";

         return 0;
}
--
-- OUTPUT
...
gcc -o test test.C
/tmp/ccU8Sg2f.o: In function `main':
/tmp/ccU8Sg2f.o(.text+0xf): undefined reference to `cout'
/tmp/ccU8Sg2f.o(.text+0x14): undefined reference to 
`ostream::operator<<(char const *)'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
--
This was working before I made the changes.  Does anyone have any ideas 
what I might need to do to fix this?

Thanks,
