&gt; Templates with g++ 2.7.2 are so much fun.
&gt; 
&gt; &gt; So the question is, anyone know how to get the compiler to spit out the
&gt; &gt; pre-processed code so I can take a look at what line it's complaining about?
&gt; 
&gt; gcc -E will send the preprocessed output to stdout and not try to compile
&gt; it.

That worked, but produced nothing that I knew how to make use of,
however...

&gt; 
&gt; For the mangled symbol, check out the program c++filt .. it is really
&gt; useful.

That provided the clue I needed!! 
(It was the: ObjArray&lt;int&gt;&amp; operator=(const ObjArray&lt;int&gt; blah); method.

The problem was something like this:

#include "MyTemplate.h"

class foo {
	ObjArray&lt;int&gt; array;
	foo(const foo&amp; src) { *this = src; }
	...
	// The important part is that no operator=(const foo&amp; src) is defined
};


It looks like when g++ 2.7.2 was creating the default operator= method, it did
not count that as a reason to instantiate/create/whatever the ObjArray&lt;T&gt;
operator= method. (Which was defined and implemented.)

After I put the operator= in class foo (which just did a this-&gt;blah = src.blah
for all members blah), it compiled and linked fine (and is now running :))

Thanks for all the help folks!
