I get the following errors when I try to compile any app-- in Proj. Builder and c++.

/usr/bin/ld: table of contents for archive: /usr/lib/libstdc++.a is out of date; rerun ranlib(1) (can't load from it)
/usr/bin/ld: table of contents for archive: /usr/lib/gcc/darwin/2.95.2/libcc_dynamic.a is out of date; rerun ranlib(1) (can't load from it)

I recently did some fink installations and ran Norton Speed Disk. I assume either one of these two processes is the cause of my problem. I read the man pages for 'ld' and 'ranlib' but it's all Greek to me. ranlib's page did mention a bug where archives can be made out-of-date, but I'm not sure how to make archive in-date. I just want my compiler to work again!!

Anyone know the solution to my problem?

Not sure why those are out of date, but however... just run ranlib on them.

ranlib /usr/lib/libstdc++.a
ranlib /usr/lib/gcc/darwin/2.95.2/libcc_dynamic.a

You might need to do that as root (i.e. use sudo).

Tried that. No go:

[localhost:/Users/me] root# ranlib /usr/lib/libstdc++.a
ranlib: file: /usr/lib/libstdc++.a(cstringi.o) has no symbols
ranlib: file: /usr/lib/libstdc++.a(builtinbuf.o) has no symbols
[localhost:/Users/me] root# ranlib /usr/lib/gcc/darwin/2.95.2/libcc_dynamic.a

I think I'm just going to reinstall the dev tools.

Well, whatever was wrong, the reintall fixed it.
