I am total novice! I am writing my thesis and  I am trying to use a library routine (Numerical Recipes, amebsa.c ). Supposedly it should include all necessary files. Now the compiler spouts out the following error message:

link samain,,,user32+kernel32/noi;
OPTLINK (R) for Win32  Release 7.50B1

samain.obj(samain)
 Error 42: Symbol Undefined ?vector@@YAPAMJJ@Z (float *cdecl vector(long

--- errorlevel 5


I tried finding the files free_vector.h and vector.h. The remaining ones I
actually do them in the include folder of my dmc!
Does anyone know how to handle this problem. Or where to find the files. Can
any difficulty arise due to the incorporation of older files that are not as
new as the ones used by DMC. (i.e. complex.h and older c routines)

Since this is the core of my thesis is of paramount importance. Thanks for all postings!?

So, you have a core application in C++ and libraries in C?

Try to add this to the beginning of the header files which belong to a C
library:

#ifdef	__cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif

and this to the end:

#ifdef  __cplusplus
}
#endif


Alternatively, you can use something like this in your C++ application
files (*.cpp)

extern "C" {
//include your C libraries here
#include "blahblah.h"
#include "halbhalb.h"
}

As you can see, this is basically the same. Any of these steps makes
your C++ compiler know that the incuded declarations belong to a library
with C naming and calling convention.
