Re: EGCS-1.1.2: static class member not linking.

[Brendan Simon <brendan at dgs dot monash dot edu dot au>]

Don't worry about my previous mail.  I am embarrassed to say that I made a
simple error.  I forgot to initialise the static member in the .cc source
file.  I have done this a few times in my class so I don't know why I
missed it this time; maybe I should get more sleep.

Thanks,
Brendan (blushing) Simon.
