It crashes before you have even entered any input? Is there an error message?
g++ -Wall -o "driver" "driver.cpp" (in directory: /home/poonam)

That is a linker error. You don't compile/link the employee.cpp
g++ -Wall -Wextra -o driver driver.cpp employee.cpp
thank you!
It's not compiling the employee.cpp file for some reason. Have you tried creating a "project" and added all the files to the same project? I also use Geany but I haven't tried to use the project feature in a very long time so I don't remember if you had to do anything special to make it work correctly. Things might have changed since then anyway.
at peter . i tried that right now with something else and it doesnt work.
Well, it seems like you are supposed to set it up yourself, using a makefile or whatever you prefer.
