Just read again what the info file says. Though it's quite obscure at
first, the meaning gets clearer everytime you read it.

Assuming you want to use the last method suggested, do the following:
Create a file 'instant.cc' containing

#include "cstack.h"
#include "cstack.cc"

template class cStack<TYPE>;

and compile this file with 
'gcc -fno-implicit-templates -DTYPE=int -o cstack_int.o'
(and do same for every type you need besides int).
Then compile your program and link it together with these instantiations...
