I was experimenting with a template class for arrays. This is an example
in the C++ primer from stanly B. Lippman 2nd edition 1991.

During compiling (or actually I believe its linking) I get this error
message (in a rhide status screen):
---
 Creating: array.exe
 Error: arrmain.o: In function `main':
 arrmain.cpp(4) Error: undefined reference to `ARRAY<int>::init(int
const *, int)'
 arrmain.cpp(7) Error: undefined reference to
`__ls__H1Zi_R7ostreamRt5ARRAY1ZX01_R7ostream'
 There were some errors
---

The init function IS defined. I can't figure out why its complaining
about this. The second error, well I can't cook soup from it.

Someone knows what is happening here? Are there some examples of
variable sized one and two dimensional arrays out there?
Please respond (also) via e-mail...
