So why are you reporting it here? ;-) The missing symbols are c++ symbols which I expect to get shipped with gcc. They all belong to "typeinfo". So maybe there are some symbols missing in libstd++ or libgcc due to configuration errors in gcc - or some I did myself (the latter for sure). IMHO the error is not in hp ld. As I can read on http://gcc.gnu.org/lists.html: "gcc-help is a [...] list for people searching for help in building gcc" I just mentioned I had a little problem and was seeking for an answer. The whole installation process for gcc on HPUX is a painful story (far away from linux' configure-make-make_install). As I can see at dejanews and in the gcc mailing lists I am not the only one banging his head against the wall. Please believe, I do not want to blame the developers of gcc, but rather ask for a discussion that leads back to a really portable compiler. I am greatful for the work You have done, especially the template stuff. Let us use it - even on hpux. > So you should ask for help from HP, not to us. Maybe you need to > patch your system? The problem is *not* gcc and the problem is *not* hpux. The problem is their interaction and all those nasty side effects. HP will tell me the same answer only with inverse sign. Again: I repeat my question: Any idea where the linker should find the symbols? Best regards, Markus
