That's because it's not standard! The standard says that the header should be <iostream> (Actually all C++ standard headers are H-less, except for ISO C header files) G++ tells you here that it is not standard, it will accept and compile it but there is no guarantee that other compiler would. This is not a Mandrake issue at all - it's the default behavior of g++ Eyal
