Ok, so this was a false alarm. I didn't have libstdc++-devel installed. I am not sure how I missed it. I apologize for the any undue stress this may have caused. I am a bit baffled as to why it did not get installed though? I selected all of the development tools. Ok, that's a problem for tomorrow. std::cout << "Good Night, World? std::endl; <div>On 6/15/07, Aquil H.

It was the smoothest install of any Fedora Core that I have attempted. However, I am having a problem using the gnu compiler in particular with g++. I have written a simple hello world program: #include <iostream> int main(void) { std::cout <<"Hello, World!" << std::endl; return 0; } and attempted to compile it using the command: [aha@boombata devel]$ g++ -o hello hello.cc hello.cc:1:20: error: iostream: No such file or directory hello.cc: In function 'int main()': hello.cc:5: error: 'cout' is not a member of 'std' hello.cc :5: error: 'endl' is not a member of 'std' As you can see for some reason iostream.h is not being found, even though I have confirmed it's existence: [aha@boombata backward]$ ls /usr/include/c++/4.1.2/backward/iostream.h /usr/include/c++/4.1.2/backward/iostream.h Now I may be in the wrong place for such a question, but does anyone have any about how to fix this problem. I am embarrassed to call myself a developer :( Regards -- Aquil H.
