Both precompiled gcc distributions that I tried (one is from IBM, the other one is from aixpdslib.seas.ucla.edu) had it static. Can you check if you also have one somehere in .../lib/gcc/powerpc-ibm-aix/<gcc-version>/? Also what does 'ldd <your-executable>' prints? -boris Hm, I think libsupc++.a should always be static.

Is there a chance thta on a particular machine, libsupc++.a will not be installed. I am assuming it is part of the gcc package - so then I guess the answer is yes.
