hi Joachim

thank you very much for the information. Following your suggestion, I 
managed to compile
the code by the following options on Ubuntu 8.04

-static-libgcc -Wl,-Bstatic -lCGAL -Wl,-Bdynamic

without -static-libgcc, g++ complained that "ld cannot find  lgcc_s".

thank you again for the help
