I'm new to linux,c++ and computers generally.?
I can't get my "Hello World!"compiled. I run "gcc /home/iain/Hello.cpp. and get "iostream.h no such file...
...I found doc's that said "save as "$LFS/root/Hello.c" but with "iostdl.h" -(this may be wrong I can't remember off hand) -instead of "iostream.h" & then " gcc Hello.c -o hello" and it worked.
I then did what they said for "iostream" but they used g++
"no such command" I get back.So I try with gcc and "iostream.h no such file....! ? Linux was installed from disk linux-mandrake7.1
before I assume it's configured wrong(god help me)can any-one
point me in some direction or other .I've done the usuall check of the spelling. I'm using c++ in 24 hrs as tutorial.
Sorry for the spiel. Any feedback would be appretiated

add #include <iostream.h> to the top of your Hello.cpp
also try using gpp instead of gcc

...and also look at the date of posts; this had been closed for NINETEEN YEARS. I think the OP has figured it out by now.
