    Luc,
    
    The library libcomplex.a gets installed in the directory
    /usr/ccs/lib/cmplrs/cxx.  This gets installed with the DEC C++ static class
    libraries when you install the CXXLIBxxx subset from the DEC C++ compiler
    kit.  For example, my Digital UNIX v4.0B system has Digital C++ v5.5
    installed, and the setld command shows that the CXXLIB550 subset is
    installed:
    
    csh> setld -i | grep CXXLIB550 | grep installed
    CXXLIB550            installed  DEC C++ static class libraries
    
    Please check your system to see if this subset has been installed, and
    whether the file /usr/ccs/lib/cmplrs/cxx/libcomplex.a exists.  If this file
    does exist, please let me know and we can investigate further.
    
    Thanks,

    Hi Karen,
    
     I did the following:
    
    # ls -l /usr/ccs/lib/cmplrs/cxx/libcomplex.a
    /usr/ccs/lib/cmplrs/cxx/libcomplex.a not found

    CXXMAN550            installed  DEC C++ and class library manual pages
    CXXV4HDR550          installed  DEC C++ header files for Digital UNIX
    V4.0 or later
    # setld -l /cdrom/cxx550/kit
    setld: All subsets on the kit are already installed
    
    # ls -l

    Can I bypass the setld -l by uncompressing the CXXLIB550 file?
    
    When I did the cxx installation I selected all subsets.
    
    Thanks,
    Luc

    Luc,
    
    I will install the C++ v5.5 kit on my workstation and get back to you on the
    proper procedure to get the libcomplex.a library loaded on your system.

    Luc,
    
    It turns out that the subset CXXLIB550 only gets installed on versions of
    Digital UNIX prior to v4.0.  For Digital UNIX v4.0 and up, the CXLLIBA4xx
    subset must be installed to load the libcomplex.a library.  This subset
    is on one of the CD's that comes with the Digital UNIX v4.0 operating 
    system CD kit.  On your Digital UNIX v4.0B system, the subset name is
    CXLLIBA410.  Please check whether this is installed on your system.  If 
    not, mount the Digital UNIX v4.0B Associated Products Volume 1 CD.  The 
    subset can be found in the ALPHA/DEC_C++_RTL directory on the CD.  Please 
    load this on your system and let me know if this resolves your problem.  
    My apologies for the earlier confusion on the location of the libcomplex.a 
    library.

    Luc,
    
    I tried your test case on a system here, and I am getting the same error
    that you reported.  I have both libcomplex.a and libcomplex.so installed
    on my system.  I'll report this problem to our C++ compiler group.  One
    other thing for you to note - by default the shared versions (.so) of the
    libraries get linked in, so you really need to have libcomplex.so if you
    are linking -call_shared (the default).  This library gets loaded with the
    CXLSHRDA410 subset which is also located on the Associated Products 
    volume 1 CD.  It gets installed in the /usr/ccs/lib/cmplrs/cxx directory.

    Luc,
    
    I was able to get your test case to link successfully by specifically
    linking in the libcomplex library:
    
    cxx complex.cxx -lcomplex
    
    Let me know if this helps you out.
    
    Karen

    Hi Karen,
    
      Thanks, I was able to install CXLLIBA410. Now I do have /usr/ccs/lib/
    libcomplex.a. Manon will try to rebuild usin -lcomplex flag.
    
    This is what I did.
    # setld -i | grep -i CXLLIBA410
    CXLLIBA410                      DEC C++ Class Archive Libraries
    # setld -l /cdrom/ALPHA/DEC_C++_RTL
     Choices (for example, 1 2 4-6): 1
    CXLLIBA410 software installed successfully.
    # setld -i | grep -i CXLLIBA410
    CXLLIBA410           installed  DEC C++ Class Archive Libraries
    
    Thanks,
    Luc
