Error message when compiling source code

[vangodo]

Hi Guys, newbie at C programming. Suddenly getting error message when compiling source codes......
Undefined symbols:
"__gxx_personality_v0", reference from:
_main in cddldVR.o
CIE in ccddLdVR.o
ld: symbol(s) not found
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Need help to correct this...have not tried anything.....scared things would get worst.

Those are linker errors... are your library paths set correctly?

O_o

The function in question is a native part of GCC; GCC, properly built, knows where to look for those bits relative to the GCC executable.

If you are using an old version, don't compile C++ with GCC.

Otherwise, you have a borked installation. Where did you get it? What did you install it? *other questions?* Seriously, just tell us a lot about what your installation.

Everything was working before, problem started today. The path to my learn directory is correct since I am creating all the source code in the same directory where I am compiling them. I do recognized that it is a linker problem. I am wondering if I reinstall the mac app Xcode.

If it was working until today... what changed?
Did you change any settings? Did you delete any folders or move stuff around?
Backtrack and see if you can figure it out before you go deleting and reinstalling.

(Troubleshooting is a big part of programming... so this turns out to be a good learning opportunity for you.)

First of all thanks guys for the comments. The only thing that changed was during compiling a file I mistakenly typed zero (0) instead of the letter 'o'. After correcting that I kept getting a msg. the a swap file exist so I deleted that file. Since then I have been getting this problem.

which help file are you talking about Tater?

What are you using to compile?

Whichever help file is relevent at the moment... It's in my .sig to encourage people to actually use the help files on their systems.
You would be absolutely amazed at how much information people ignore --even refuse to use-- that's sitting right under their noses.

In this case, you might try looking up the errors you are getting... It might be a common problem with that compiler/IDE and you might even find a fix for it right there in your trusty old help file.

What are you using to compile?

I am using gcc 4.5.1 Apple Inc (hot 3)

From
Today's Learnings - What You Learned Today?: undefined reference to `__gxx_personality_v0' !!!!

The mistake was i tried to compile and link the a .cpp file by using the 'gcc' compiler. but the programs using the c++ object files should always be linked with g++ in order to supply the c++ libraries. My mistake was i tried to link the c++ object files to be linked with c libraries, and thus it showed 'Undefined reference'.

You need to link with the correct command if compiled with g++ link with g++; if compiled with gcc link with gcc.

NOTE: It also means if using C++ Libraries link with g++

NOTE: It also means Googling your error message and doing some research yourself is a really awesome idea.

I am not only depending on you guys for a solution. I am already googling and reading help files. It's just that this is all taking lots of time but I am enjoying it. All in the learning process!!

Busy whole of yesterday with this problem but achieved no success! Even reinstalled Xcode.........not frustrated but tired. Just need that one tip that would get me on the right path/road to success!

Spend lots of time googling but the errors came up with no find results (strange but true) found nothing!!
