You stumbled on a typical newbie problem. I must say your research and
analysis of the problem are indeed impressive compared to the average
(really, no irony here). What you need to do is read the FAQ:
http://www.faqs.org/faqs/C-faq/faq/
Most notably item 14.3, but why not read all of it? The reason that g++
does work is in a _library_ it links by default that gcc doesn't.
Header files contain only declarations, not the functions themselves.
HTH,
Eric
