Hello.

Got two answers, pointing to the same solution, here's the result when trying to apply it:

XXX AT yyy /tmp
$ g++ testnewchar.cc
/tmp/cc2MeN0q.o(.text+0x26):testnewchar.cc: undefined reference to `operator new
[](unsigned)'
/tmp/cc2MeN0q.o(.text+0x34):testnewchar.cc: undefined reference to `operator del
ete(void*)'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

XXX AT yyy /tmp
$ c++ testnewchar.cc
/tmp/ccvys8Rg.o(.text+0x26):testnewchar.cc: undefined reference to `operator new
[](unsigned)'
/tmp/ccvys8Rg.o(.text+0x34):testnewchar.cc: undefined reference to `operator del
ete(void*)'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

XXX AT yyy /tmp
$ c++ -lstdc++ testnewchar.cc
/tmp/ccFVl1ml.o(.text+0x26):testnewchar.cc: undefined reference to `operator new
[](unsigned)'
/tmp/ccFVl1ml.o(.text+0x34):testnewchar.cc: undefined reference to `operator del
ete(void*)'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Any other ideas? Could it be that when compiling and installing gcc with --enable-languages=c++ only gcc doesn't install some 
essential libs?

Best regards,

Both replies suggested I use g++ instead of gcc for compilation - which I did, as you can see above.
