Hi all,
    I'd like to use the String objects which are part of cpp and
libgpp.a.  The line ***String x = "abcdetc";*** compiles fine.  The
Linker is undefined reference to String::String(char const *).  I
figured I'd got incompatible versions of the various files.  I have
gcc 2.81    119,808   June 6-98
libgpp.a    394,290   June 6-98
ld 2.8.1     316,982   July 16-97  To get the version I used --version
flag.

    So I figured ld.exe was too old and since I have bnu281.b.zip I
logged into a mirror and determined that the latest bnu was still 281 so
I pulled it over anyway.  The ld.exe is now 317,440 bytes and Dec
31-97.  When I ran "ld --version" it tells me "version id - GNU
sh-utilities 1.12" which is a wee bit different considering it came from
a zip file of the same name.  So I'm a bit confused there.

    In any case the bottom line is the linker is still not able to link
to the class String.  What can I do now?

       I've also looked in the mail archives and found that this
question has been asked before but I could not find a reply offering
more than what I've done.

        Thank to all of you for the great help in the past.

                    Regards Ian.
