i tried this too, since i followed your instructions in this
newsgroup, but the strange thing is, that nothing changed, besides
from sometimes getting even more errors :)

i solved my problem somehow, i think its more or less a workaround
i included libgpp into my project and it links now, BTW i had the same
problem with the scitech grx library i remember. so i guess there s
some kind of bug in the relation between the linker and the archives
(this is really just a guess)

and i would really like to know how to solve it - just for fun! 
anyway, thanks for your help
