  Use 'g++' to compile c++ programs, not 'gcc'.  Although they both are ver
similar drivers that invoke the sub-parts of the toolchain (compiler,
assembler, linkers), and in fact either one can recognize the extension of a
file and pass it to the right language version of the compiler, the g++ driver
also knows to add the appropriate -L and -l options for linking against the
standard C++ libraries automatically.


    cheers,
