undefined function '__stl_new'

[TonyGroves]

I notice that if I #include <fstream> in a particular simple C++Builder 6 VCL program, I get the error "_alloc.h: Call to undefined function '__stl_new'". That doesn't happen in other programs. Is there something I need to do to fix this, like #include something else before <fstream>?

Thanks a lot.

I fixed it.

I backed up the project, deleted a few unused files from the directory, and it compiled clean! When out of curiosity I restored the backup, the compile error came back! I deleted the files again, and hey presto, it compiles clean again!

I'm having quite a few strange problems with C++ Builder, but that must be the most bizarre of all. I'm starting to be sorry I ever upgraded from v.4 to 6.

Has anybody else experienced strange things like that?

Have you fully patched? There are 4 (I tkink) patches out. You have to install all patches but one since the later ones don't include the earlier ones. Also, there is a update for the linker, too.

I have update no. 4 (which according to the Borland website at

http://community.borland.com/cgi-bin/surveys/thanx.cgi?cb6reg_updates_down

includes the previous updates), and the ilink32 patch. As far as I can see, these are the latest patches.
