templates and DLD functions

[Ben Sapp]

Hi, 

Does any one know what is required to use templates in DLD functions for 
octave?  A general explaination would be appreciated.   If not some help with 
my specific problem would also be great.  

I have tried to implement a class that is a subclass of 
octave_base_matrix<ex_matrix>  where ex_matrix is a type I have defined.   

In the .h file I have: 
#if defined (__GNUG__)
#pragma interface "ov-ex-mat.h"
#endif

In the .cc file I have: 
#if defined (__GNUG__)
#pragma implementation "ov-ex-mat.h"
#endif

later, I also have 
template class octave_base_matrix<ex_matrix>;

It all compiles without complaint.   Then when I try to use the file I get an 
error like this:   
undefined symbol: 
subsref__t18octave_base_matrix1Z9ex_matrixGt12basic_string3ZcZt18string_char_traits1ZcZt24__default_alloc_template2b1i0RCt6SLList1Z17octave_value_list

Thanks for any help.
