Hi! Do you have any idea why ''waitpid'' is an undeclared identifier when I compile a *.cpp file with g++ and it compiles fine when there''s a *.c file and gcc? Are there any special includes for c++ to get waitpid working? Thanks -------------- "We cannot all be masters." - William Shakespeare

Usually a man ''call name'' will return the necessary includes.

OS X man waitpid:

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>

If you check that and it still doesn''t work...hrms....

Int.

ONLY if you get undefined symbols after doing the above, then enclose those includes in extern "C"

but most headers should do this automatically.

Hehe, of course, I did include those headers.
Now I''ll try with extern "C".
I hope it''ll help.
Thanks

Actually, given what you''ve said, it shouldn''t. You have a compile time error (undeclared identifier) mine fixes a link time error (undefined symbol)

Then what should I do? Use a different compiler? Which one?

reduce it to a small 10 line .cc file that gets you the error, and show us that file ,adn the exact error (heck, all the compiler output) for that smaller file.
