Something is wrong with your C++ distributive. Try to compile another C++ program which uses iostream.

Ah, right. Good call. My C++ seems to be hosed. This just happens to be the first C++ program i have tried to install in several weeks.<br><br>I wonder what I have to do to fix this? I have already removed and re-installed my entire gcc, g++, libc-devel and libc++-devel system and it is still doing it.<br><br>Anyway, at least we know it is my problem, not yours.   <!-- s:P --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" title="Razz" /><!-- s:P -->
