Hi,

Should be too simple...

I wrote a sample c++ program like


#include <iostream.h>
int main()
{$
int ab=455;
cout << ab << endl;
return 1;
}

I am getting error like

$ gcc u1.cpp
Undefined first referenced
symbol in file
cout /var/tmp/ccK1IfM6.o
ostream:perator<<(ostream &(*)(ostream &))/var/tmp/ccK1IfM6.o
endl(ostream &) /var/tmp/ccK1IfM6.o
ostream:perator<<(int) /var/tmp/ccK1IfM6.o
ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to a.out
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Not able to figure out what the problem is.

THanks

I don't use gcc, but I thought gcc was a c compiler. Your program is in c++.

Heh, I missed that completely, but yes, that may very well be the problem, as even the gcc man page say gcc assumes files are C code, and g++ assumes files are C++ code.

g++ is what you would need for this.

Thanks

Is there any idea how to identify where the compiler is ?
I mean the compiler's path

ls1429

It should be in the same place as gcc... if not, try whereis g++, and if all else fails, try find / -type f -name g++ -print 2>/dev/null... It'll be slow, but hopefully it's installed.

You have to have download it from gcc.gnu.org. But if you have download the full version g++ is included.

Sorry if I have misled the question.

What I intended to ask is ...
I just want to know where the compiler will be available generally & is there any place to search in specific, across machines for any compilers


Thanks
