Problems in Linking.

[Amit]

Hi,
 I have posted this on gnu.g++.help but the message has not appeared
there yet, so I am posting it to this group in case someone is able to
help me out.
I am using gcc 3.3 on os X 10.3.9
I am trying to create a library in c++. So first I compile all the
files and create object files. Then I do the following:

ar ruv libmy.a file1.o file2.o file3.o file4.o

After this I try to use it in a test program as follows:

g++ -pg  -O -Wno-deprecated  -ansi -pedantic -o test test.C
-DANSI_HEADERS -D_G_HAVE_BOOL -I. -I/ALLINCLUDEDIRS -lmy -L.

but the linker complains saying,

ld: archive: ./librat.a has no table of contents, add one with
ranlib(1) (can't load from it)

How can I resolve this? I have used the same approach before for
creating the library on gcc 3.1 on RH 9.0. Am I missing something?

thanks,
amit.
