[SOLVED] Using gcc compiler on a .cpp file

mcgill · 05-31-2008, 09:12 AM

In Redhat Linux 8, when using the gcc compilet on a .cpp file, I get the following message:

/tmp/ccDX8r6z.o(.eh_frame+0x11): undefined reference to `__gxx_personality_v0'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Does anybody know what this means? I can use gcc successfully on a .c file.

Firstly, you shouldn't really be using Red Hat Linux 8 now, because it's out of date and unsupported.

You should also really be using g++ to compile C++ programs, rather than gcc. You can however compile C++ programs with gcc if you link the C++ standard library (by including "-lstdc++" when you compile).
