Ilya, thanks VERY MUCH. This solved my problem in a flash. My application (38 thousand lines, compared to the 6 lines of my test-file) now compiles and links properly in g++-3, and, with a preprocessor switch, in g++-2 as well. In case other folks are interested, below is how I now do it (sorry that I test for __GNUC__; this code is meant to work for many other compilers as well) ...
#if defined(__GNUC__) #if __GNUC__ == 3 void std::reverse(std::vector<double>::iterator, std::vector<double>::iterator); #else template void std::reverse(std::vector<double>::iterator, std::vector<double>::iterator); #endif #endif Thanks very much for the help, delivered so quickly!!
