Error linking with gcc

Question

I've try to compile this code:

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>

using namespace std;

#define ARRAY_TAM 2

typedef int (*operacion)(int, int);
typedef const char* (*Pfchar)();

int suma(int, int);
int resta(int, int);

const char* descrSuma();
const char* descrResta();
const char* simbSuma();
const char* simbResta();

class OP
{
    private:

    public:
        operacion op;
        Pfchar descr;
        Pfchar simb;

};

int main (int argv, char *argc[])
{
    OP ArrayOP[ARRAY_TAM];

    ArrayOP[0].op = suma;
    ArrayOP[0].descr = descrSuma;
    ArrayOP[1].op = resta;
    ArrayOP[1].descr = descrResta;

    int op1, op2;
    unsigned int i;
    char opcion;
    bool fin = false;

    while (fin != true)
    {
        cout << "CALCULADORA" << "\n";
        cout << "===========" << "\n";

        for (i = 0; (i < ARRAY_TAM); i++)
        {
            cout << i+1;
            cout << ".- ";
            cout << ArrayOP[i].descr() << "\n";
        }

        cout << i+1 << ".- " << "Salir" << endl;

        cout << "Opcion: ";

        cin >> opcion;
        opcion = atoi(&opcion);
        opcion--;
        cout << (int)opcion << endl;

        if ((opcion >= 0) && (opcion < ARRAY_TAM))
        {
            cout << "Operando 1: ";
            cin >> op1;
            cout << "Operando 2: ";
            cin >> op2;
            cout << "Resultado: op1 " << ArrayOP[opcion].simb()
                         << " op2 = " << ArrayOP[opcion].op(op1, op2);
        }   
        else if (opcion == ARRAY_TAM)
        {
            fin = true;
        }

    }

    return 0;

}


int suma (int op1, int op2)
{return op1 + op2;}

int resta (int op1, int op2)
{return op1 - op2;}

const char* descrSuma()    
{return "Suma";}

const char* descrResta() 
{return "Resta";}

const char* simbSuma()
{return "+";}

const char* simbResta()
{return "-";}

An it works, but I have a lot of problems linking with gcc with debbugging symbols and it doesn't link :-(

Need Help!

PD: Edited.

Please edit your code to remove the unecessary vertical white space. And "a lot of problems" doesn't give us anything to go on - post the specific error messages you are getting. — anon

You write "... it works", but then you write "... problems with linking".

I am little bit confused with this question, because:

If there are problems with linking then it doesn't work ...
But if it works, then you don't have problems with linking...

So I guess that you mean: "it compiles, but there are linking errors" ?

If that's the case, then you could try

g++ -g main.cpp -o main

instead of

gcc -g main.cpp -o main

EDIT: ... and do not mention main.o on the command line =;)

EDIT: if that all doesn't help - maybe there is something wrong with your g++/gcc installation?

on ubuntu please try

sudo aptitude install build-essential
