Hello. Got two answers, pointing to the same solution, here's the result when trying to apply it:
XXX@yyy /tmp $ g++ testnewchar.cc /tmp/cc2MeN0q.o(.text+0x26):testnewchar.cc: undefined reference to `operator new [](unsigned)' /tmp/cc2MeN0q.o(.text+0x34):testnewchar.cc: undefined reference to `operator del ete(void*)' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status XXX@yyy /tmp $ c++ testnewchar.cc /tmp/ccvys8Rg.o(.text+0x26):testnewchar.cc: undefined reference to `operator new [](unsigned)' /tmp/ccvys8Rg.o(.text+0x34):testnewchar.cc: undefined reference to `operator del ete(void*)' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status XXX@yyy /tmp $ c++ -lstdc++ testnewchar.cc /tmp/ccFVl1ml.o(.text+0x26):testnewchar.cc: undefined reference to `operator new [](unsigned)' /tmp/ccFVl1ml.o(.text+0x34):testnewchar.cc: undefined reference to `operator del ete(void*)' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status Any other ideas? Could it be that when compiling and installing gcc with --enable-languages=c++ only gcc doesn't install some essential libs?
