when i wrote a prog in c++ and try to compile it i get pages of eroors it is carrect and there is no error because when there is error it reports it but when it becames correct and try to compile it i get

undefined reference to everything i couldnt get the errors with

gcc example.cpp -o example >error.txt

so i coulndt post it any idea why?

if you did it in an xterm, you could cut n paste
the errors.
it looks like like you are just creating an
executable error.txt, but thats just a guess.

That is because you are compiling a C++ program with a C compiler

Try using g++ instead.

And make sure you don't need to add -lsomething when you link the program (for example '-lm' when you're using mathematical functions).

No prob. I've made the same mistake myself a few times...
