Hi,

Running AIX 5.3, I'm trying to compile a short piece of code in C++:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
cout << "Dit is AIX 5.3 - C++\n";
}

Compilation:

$ g++ test.cpp -o testcpp
ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .std::basic_ostream<char,
std::char_traits<char> >& std::operator<< <std::char_traits<char>
(std::basic_ostream<char, std::char_traits<char> >&, char const*)
ld: 0711-345 Use the -bloadmap or -bnoquiet option to obtain more
information.
collect2: ld returned 8 exit status
$


Hi

I had the same problem a few days ago. After some research I decided to
upgrade the gcc version.
IIRC there is a workarround for the problem. But it is has one or more
disadvantages. You can find the solution, if you google for it.



Trying with the suggested options:
$ g++ -bnoqiuet test.cpp -o testcpp
g++: couldn't run 'noqiuet-gcc-4.0.0': No such file or directory
$ g++ -bloadmap test.cpp -o testcpp
g++: couldn't run 'loadmap-gcc-4.0.0': No such file or directory
$ g++ test.cpp -bnoquiet -o testcpp
g++: '-b' must come at the start of the command line

Any clues on how to get on?
Thanks.

1. There is a typo.
2. -bnoquiet and -bloadmap are linker options. You have to use it like
"g++ -Wl,-bnoquiet test.cpp -o testcpp".

Regards, Chris
