On an HP700 system, I've built libg++ 2.3 with gcc 2.3.3.  It gets
installed automatically into $(somedir)/lib/libg++.a (where $(somedir) is
determined by the configuration stage).  However, gcc doesn't look for
libg++.a by default and can't seem to find it if I specify it as -lg++ on
the command line.

I tried compiling the following program with "gcc -o tst tst.cc"
and gcc died with two or three unresolved symbol errors.  When I tried to
compile it with "gcc -o tst tst.cc -lg++", gcc said that it couldn't find
"-lg++".  This is all very strange since gcc doesn't have any trouble
finding the installed libg++ header files.

Is there something I'm missing?

Thanks for any information,
-lipp

ps:  Here is the test source.

// "tst.cc"
#include <iostream.h>

main()
{
  cerr << "here is some output" << endl;
}
