Have >you tried g++ instead of gxx? to me it looks as gxx and g++ somhow calls gcc with -lstdcx - one x - and not as you say -lstdcxx. calling g++ or gxx (without arguments) gxx foo.cc -lstdcxx g++ foo.cc -lstdcxx all end up with the errror message cannot open -lstdcx This beats my intelligibility, but anyway, now I know how to compile from the command prompt and how to change my makefiles. thank you for your patient help kind regards - -soren ------- End of forwarded message -------
