Problem with software compilation with Solaris 10 x86

Question

Hi!
I installed Solaris 10 (entire distribution) and realized that my gcc compiler can't compile even a very simple application.
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
printf("abc");
return 0;
}This is output from terminal screen:
# gcc test.cpp
Undefined first referenced
symbol in file
__gxx_personality_v0 /var/tmp//ccYJ4DSu.o
ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to a.out
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Please help!
Thank you.

GCC does different things depending on how the file is named. cpp should refer to a file that needs to go through the c preprocessor, not C code.
Try renaming test.cpp to test.c.
bash-3.00# gcc foo.cpp
Undefined first referenced
symbol in file
__gxx_personality_v0 /var/tmp//ccvnZHGr.o
ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to a.out
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
bash-3.00# mv foo.cpp foo.c
bash-3.00# gcc foo.c
bash-3.00# ./a.out
abcbash-3.00#
