undefined reference to `cout'

undefined reference to `cout'

[Mark Shacklette]

Hi:

I've compiled and built egcs1.0.2 on a RedHat 5.0 system running 2.0.31.  When
I try and build a cpp program, I get the following link error:

/tmp/cca281661.o: In function `main':
/tmp/cca281661.o(.text+0x9): undefined reference to `cout'
/tmp/cca281661.o(.text+0xe): undefined reference to `ostream::operator<<(char
const *)'

This is from a simple cout statement.  Something appears very messed up with my
linker's ability to find the C++ libraries.  What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for any help,

Mark

There is perhaps something wrong with the gcc command you typed, or there is
perhaps something wrong with the way you installed egcs.  It isn't possible
to tell from the info you provided.

If you typed `gcc', then you might try typing `g++' instead.  This will
automatically link with the libstdc++ library (-lstdc++) which contains cout.
