[Q] g++ header files

[Craig Oda <craig@example.com>]

Hi,
I thought I would get our renewed discussion going with a question
on g++

I usually use standard c, but I went to the U.S. and bought a book
on c++ and tried to go through the first example "hello world" program
to make sure the compiler was working.  I am having a little trouble:

  cow:~/practice/c/cpp% g++ -I/usr/include/g++ hello.cc
  /tmp/cca001071.o(.text+0x1e): undefined reference to `cout'
  /tmp/cca001071.o(.text+0x23): undefined reference to 
  `ostream::operator<<(char const *)'


This is the sample program:

  #include <iostream.h>
  void main()
  {
        cout << "Hello, World.\n";
  }

When I first tried this, I was getting error messages from the stdiostream.h
header file that iostream.h was referencing.  

The gcc is:
  Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/2.6.2/specs
  gcc version 2.6.2

The g++ libs are from the binary:
  libg++-2.6.2.5.bin.tar.gz

  Linux cow 1.2.9 #1

==

Should I try and compile the g++ libs from the source?

Regards,

Craig
