Programming

Hi All,
I am not sure if this is the correct place to put this question but still i hope to get some info.

I am compiling a c++ program on solaris 8 using c++ command, i get an error stating "ANSI C++ forbids declaration `genericerror' with no type"

What could be the problem. the compiler or do i need to link some library or is it the os???

Sorry for the trouble guys ,
i managed to solve it ... i had to use CC and not c++.
