hello i have written my own linked list template file and now want to
use it as a library (you know in different executables, etc). the
problem is that for every time that I write:

LinkedList<foo> bob;

the linker returns "undefined reference to LinkedList<foo>" and refuses
to actually compile the code.  i have included as attachment the header
file for the linked list, the actual code and a short sample program
using this library (which obviously doesn't work..)

thank you in advance for any help you may provide.

PS.  Sorry if this isn't a DJGPP specific question...
