I guess your library is OK, and I figured you tried to link with libgpp.a

The strange thing is, that you will have to compile with some optimizations. 
Otherwise some inline functions will not get inlined and then the linker won't 
find them. Don't ask why, I know it's strange.

So your call to gcc should look something like this:

gxx myprog.cpp -O -lgpp
