So, if you compile it with the _C_ compiler it doesn't work
and it you compile it with the _C++_ compiler it works?

This is a C++ program.  Where is the problem?

(The reason is that when you use g++, the compiler automatically
links with the C++ libraries, while gcc - the C compiler driver -
doesn't.)

Later,
Kenn
