    Unhappy Anyone know what this is?

    G'day,
    I'm trying to compile a whole lot of c++ code on a new Unix server. Unfortunately, I get a huge error message (part of it below). I can't think of why its doing it (all the headers etc are there).

    Anyone got any idea what to do?

    gcc -O -L/usr/home/ftmsonline/pgsql/lib -lpq -lcrypto -I- -I/usr/include -I/usr/include/g++ -I/usr/home/ftmsonline/pgsql/include -I/usr/home/ftmsonline/source -o ../cgi-bin/generic.cgi pipes.o query.o templatelib.o cgilib.o validate.o get_key.o generic.o
    pipes.o: In function `run(basic_string<char, string_char_traits<char>, __default_alloc_template<false, 0> >,
    basic_string<char, string_char_traits<char>, __default_alloc_template<false, 0> >)':
    pipes.o(.text+0x7c): undefined reference to `runtime_error virtual table'

    etc, etc...

    cgilib.o(.text+0xb99): undefined reference to `cerr'
    cgilib.o(.text+0xb9e): undefined reference to `ostream:perator<<(char const *)'
    validate.o: In function `validate(map<basic_string<char, string_char_traits<char>, __default_alloc_template<false, 0> >, basic_string<char, string_char_traits<char>, __default_alloc_template<false, 0> >, less<basic_string<char, string_char_traits<char>, __default_alloc_template<false, 0> > >, allocator<basic_string<char, string_char_traits<char>, __default_alloc_template<false, 0> > > > &)':

    ok,

    didn't know about the smilies

    Obviously my code doesn't contain small pictures of smiling people (although, that would be pretty cool...)

    You run the GNU C++ compiler by running g++ not gcc

    > -lpq -lcrypto
    And you might need to put these at the end of the command line, not at the start
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
