Template Class Problem

Below is what I believe to be another problem with templates. I've got a
parameterized class called Alpha within the files Alpha.cc and Alpha.h.
They compile fine but after the compile Alpha.o doesn't contain any
symbols relating to the Alpha class! Naturally, links against this file
fail.

If this is somehow my fault or it is a bug and there is a workaround,
please let me know. This particular problem is seriously hosing me ...
