GCC Problem

[JollyRogerBass]

Sort-of-quick question regarding GCC. I just installed Fedora 7 PPC on my Powerbook G4 1ghz, 1gig memory.

When I installed Fedora 7, I checked the Programming Tools box to install, and decided I would try to get into programming . I picked up a copy of "Absolute Beginner's Guide to C" since it had good ratings online and looked like a good place to start.

I wrote out the first C program example in Nano and then tried compiling it with GCC. Here's the code:

#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
        printf("This C Stuff is easy!\n");
        return 0;
}

I saved that and named it glimpse.C, and then tried "gcc glimpse.C". It loaded for a few seconds and then gave me this message:

$ gcc glimpse.C
/tmp/cc66IvRW.o.eh_frame+0x11): undefined reference to `__gxx_personality_v0'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

No matter what I do, even with other examples I copy from the book, and with different options appended to the command, I always get that message when I try to use GCC. Am I doing something wrong? What can I do to fix this?

Thanks in advance!

i think the program is fine...it seems llike some gcc library file missing...

Rename your source file, don't use a capital as extension:

glimpse.c instead of glimpse.C.

Thanks, Franklin, it works fine now. Looking at gcc's info file, I see that I was telling it to compile a C++ source file with regular C code... Oops! Thanks a lot for your help!
