Hello all,

I'm trying to compile a program to produce BMRT 2.5 RIB files using the ri.h and libribout.a. I'm using BMRT 2.5 so I can use Borg for rendering on multiple machines.

I'm using a fresh install of Suse 8.1 with all gcc libs and accessories loaded. (I think)

It appears as though the linker does not see some basic library even though all the libs are available.

Here is a sample of the errors:
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-suse-linux/3.2/../../../libribout.a(ribbegin.o): In function `RiBegin':
ribbegin.o(.text+0xb): undefined reference to `__builtin_new'
ribbegin.o(.text+0x27): undefined reference to `__throw'
ribbegin.o(.text+0x39): undefined reference to `__builtin_delete'
ribbegin.o(.text+0x43): undefined reference to `terminate(void)'
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-suse-linux/3.2/../../../libribout.a(ribout.o): In function `RIBStream::RIBStream(char const *,...)':
ribout.o(.text+0xcd1): undefined reference to `__throw'
ribout.o(.text+0xcf1): undefined reference to `terminate(void)'

I've used the -L parameter to make sure the compiler knew where the libs were.

This is my current compile line:
gcc -oanimate animate.cpp -lribout -lm

Thanks in advance for any help.

Try
g++ -oanimate animate.cpp -lribout -lm

and make sure the g++ rpm/package is installed.

I found out what the problem is. gcc 3.x and an old library.

After version 3 one needs to "recompile all your libraries" due to "improvements" in gcc. I understand that the changes have been made to make gcc closer to standard c++. Problem for me is that I don't own the source for the library I need and it will NEVER be made available. I'm free to use the old library as-is though.

I successfully compiled and linked on a Debian system with gcc 2.95 . My best bet appears to go to an earlier version of gcc.

Thanks
