Missing library?

[mhenderson]

Hi all,
Trying to compile a simple c++ program: sparc - sun - solaris2.8

#include<iostream>
#include<string>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
string h = "HELLO";
cout<<h<<" world";

}

When I try to compile with gcc or g++:
Undefined first referenced
symbol in file
cerr /tmp/cckNfzrE.o
cout /tmp/cckNfzrE.o
string_char_traits<char>::move(char *, char const *, unsigned int)/tmp/cckNfzrE.o
endl(ostream &) /tmp/cckNfzrE.o
__out_of_range(char const *) /tmp/cckNfzrE.o
ostream:perator<<(ostream &(*)(ostream &))/tmp/cckNfzrE.o
ostream::write(char const *, int) /tmp/cckNfzrE.o
string_char_traits<char>::length(char const *)/tmp/cckNfzrE.o
__length_error(char const *) /tmp/cckNfzrE.o
string_char_traits<char>::copy(char *, char const *, unsigned int)/tmp/cckNfzrE.o
ostream:perator<<(char const *) /tmp/cckNfzrE.o
ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to a.out
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Not sure why this simple program won't compile? Am I missing my libraries or something? Anyone else having this issue?

Thx in advance

Is it possible you are using STLport?
You will need to link with the stlport lib on that case. STLPort iostreams implementation is done through a library.

No, I directly log into our unix server and from the command line, I used to be able to compile c++ programs. Now I am receiving the error, like I am not including my libraries?

Strange...

Check if by any chance you aren't compiling with gcc and linking with g++?

[mhenderson]

really strange, its driving me nutz!
I did try to compile :
gcc -Wall test.cc
gcc -o test test.cc
g++ -Wall test.cc
g++ -o test test.cc

Not sure what u mean about the linking? Where would the iostream file physically be, so that I could look for it possibly?

[Mario F.]

I suspect the server was changed to use stlport. The messages indicate the absence of iostreams references. This is typical of stlport implementation.

try g++.exe -I./stlport test.cpp -L./lib/ -lstlport

Also, phone them.

ksh: g++.exe: command not found

Thanks for your help, not sure what u mean about calling, this is our work server I'm sure if they changed something they would let us know, can't I copy these missing libraries somewhere, or find where they are ?

Is this the first program you have tried to make on it?

[mhenderson]

No had a much larger program and received the same error, so then I wrote this simple sample and that didn't work either.....

[twomers]

Have you tried making it simpler? without <string> ...

Unfortunately I don't have a clue what could be wrong. Don't think taking out <string> would make any difference. Very odd though.

[mhenderson]

yeah, i give up, i emailed the dba
