Help, zillions of undefined references

[Eric Evans <eje4@cornell.edu>]

Hi everyone,

I have a problem with a make I'm trying to do that is resulting in lots and 
lots of undefined reference errors (see excerpt from error output at end of 
message).  The programmer who wrote the program has no idea why all the 
functions are not being linked in.  He says it ought to work, and he's 
basically washed his hands of the thing and tells me that it is up to me to 
deal with the problem.  In my web searching I came across a message from a 
guy who said that the __gxx_personality_v0 reference error could be fixed 
by using LD=$(CXX) in the Makefile, but I tried that and it didn't work.  I 
am using gcc 3.2.2 on RH linux version 9.  I'm using the default make 
program that comes with RH 9.  Is this a problem that could be fixed by 
switching to a different version of gcc or a different version of make?  Is 
there some linker option in the Makefile that I need to set in order to get 
this thing to work?  Unfortunately I have little knowledge of gcc and 
make.  Any advice I could get on how to proceed to troubleshoot this 
problem would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks very much.

Eric
